The Gunpowder Plot

Well it's Saturday Morning again and I've managed to get to my craft room early (courtesy of waiting for Mr British Gas) so I thought I'd get in early with this weeks Less Is More challenge.... RED & ORANGE!!! Now I did panic a little bit (actually a lot as I really don't like orange) but I managed to come up with this....



I'm not really happy with it and it hasn't photographed well either... but hey ho!!

Inspiration
CAS-ual Friday: #27 Off the Edge
Less Is More: #40 Colour Challenge Red & Orange

Card Recipe:
Ribbon, Twine & Button: The Ribbon Girl
Brad: Stash

Have a great day... I'll be back later
