Curtain Call 63

I took a deep breath and dove into my first color challenge.  I don't know why, but I have stayed far away from color challenges.  I am a sketch-a-holic.  But, it is a new year and I decided to challenge myself to try new things so here goes!  I played along with Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge 63.

I pulled out a sheet of each of the 5 colors above and, well, stared at them for quite a while.....and then finally the wheels started turning and this is the result:

:

All CS is by Stampin' Up as well as that awesome owl punch.  I used my Papertrey Ink Double-Ended Banner die.  Then I stamped it with that cute sentiment by Gina K. Designs.  Oh, and I stamped the owl's vest with a stamp from Papertrey Ink's Background Basics: Diamonds set and accented the pattern using a white gel pen.  I would NEVER have put these colors together, but I do love the end result.......and THAT, I suppose is a reason to play along with color challenges!  :)
