Hey...

In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different. -Coco Chanel
So this week's Blogger's Challenge is an Inspiration Photo...of a very bright fun bedding set...I looked around for furniture images in my stamps and found that I have none...so then I decided to go with the colors...and I am Not a bright color person! I see a lot of geometric shapes in the bedding, so I wanted to so something graphic and bold. For those of you that visit often you know I am more of a flower, fairy, butterfly kinda gal...but here is my Outside my Normal Comfort Zone card...I painted a chipboard circle with Making Memories Acrylic paint, then stamped the sentiment with Memento Ink, then covered it with Crystal Effects so it shines...

Thanks for looking!
