Fab and Funky colour schemes

I wanted to try some painting with Distress Inks.  I still need more practice.  My purple bled into this sweet hAnglar's hand (thank heaven for embellishments!) and I was covered in ink by the end.
I love the colour combo which came about more by default than by design because having spent hours and hours trying to tidy the Craft Croft over a period of days (and only partially succeeding) the last paper pack I found under the pile on my desk was by Cloud 9 and having flipped through it I rather liked the tartan against the purple leaf paper.  
The flowers are a mix of Recollections and Prima I think.   All the leaves are cut with a variety of Marianne dies and I added some ribbons and Craftworks candy.   The hAnglar is from a set I bought over a year ago - none of which have seen ink until now.
There is also a little panel of Basic Grey Kioshi.  I used an Autumn Leaves ticket and the "friend to friend" is by SU and mounted on a Nestie die cut.  The pansy border punch is by Martha and all of the matting is DCWV from the Brights stack I think.
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
Crafts and Me 69 Time to Brighten up your day (with bright colours)
My Mum's Craft Shop 42 Fab and Funky - I'm hoping my bright colour scheme qualifies as funky - Certainly I can't imagine wearing an ensemble of orange and purple unless I was going to a 70s party!
Just Magnolia and hAnglar 142 Anything goes with the option of a valentine.  This isn't a valentine but it was made with love!
