Colour Inspiration #37

It's been a long while since I've been able to participate in Kristina's Colour Inspiration, so I just had to take a few minutes after supper tonight to 'play' along:) I was also feeling particularly inspired today by this card on the Stamping Cafe blog - so I took inspiration from Kristina's colours and Kiara's design and this is what I came up with...

Once again I took the pictures by artificial light because it was after-dark here, but this time I used some of Kristina's tips from her Q&A, so you'll have to let me know if you think it improved the quality. I'm still not as happy as when I take pictures in daylight, but I do think the colours are truer than the last time I tried with artificial light, so THANKS for the tips Kristina!!

Recipe:

    This is beautiful! Nice work with the pictures too, I know how hard it is to get a decent pic at night so I think you did great! I really really want that top note and the curly label punch now, SU haven't given them to us in NZ yet (sob!). Thanks for visiting my blog too!
