Be Yourself

So I am not feeling much like myself right now, I was just hit with a yucky cold that came out of nowhere, and I find the saying on my card to be a little ironic.  This card uses Kristina's Color Inspiration #18 as well as the SCS Sketch Challenge #188.  The colors, the design, the boldness well pretty much most of the card is not what I would typically create.  Here is the color challenge that we were given:             

                                                              

So the colors are black, pumpkin pie, rose red and your choice of either summer sun or green galore.  I really am not a fan of green galore so I went with summer sun in my card.  I also ended up rotating the sketch challenge sideways because the saying I wanted as the focal point didn't look good going the other way.

                                                  

The black and white background is made by using one of the stamps from the Stitched Exotics Stamp Set stamped repeatedly in black.  The yellow patterns are from the Baroque Motif stamp set.  The saying from the Smarty Pants stamp set is stamped in pumpkin craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  The edges of the focal point are sponged with pumpkin ink as well.
