ABNH Color Challenge, Take Two

I had another idea for the A Blog Named Hero color challenge. Here's my card, then I'll explain:

This idea was triggered when I read MelStampz's latest post about how to make custom-colored paper using her overlays and GIMP (the free software that I use because I'm too cheap to buy Photoshop and too lazy to learn it.) Mel shows us how to take the color cues from color challenges, like this one from ABNH:

and use the colors to fill the overlays. I took her A2 chevron overlay and filled the areas with the blue and green colors from the ABNH image. Then I printed it out, trimmed it, and mounted it on a Kraft base. I added the hearts -- Kraft and Poppy (for a spot of color), and the HA sentiment is white-embossed on Kraft. White embossed sentiments seem to be all the rage these days, and since it works on this card, who am I to argue? :)

Thanks for stopping by!
