Color Challenge at The Outlawz

Wow, I just made a card and it only took a few minutes (5 to be exact...LOL).  That NEVER happens.  I was eager to participate in this week's Color Challenge at The Outlawz.  The theme was Crushed Orange, Dark as Night Black, and Pine Green.  Oh, and yeah, there is always a twist.  We had to add a leaf.

The papers I used, were staring at me, so I didn't need to do any work picking them out really.  The ink was close by, and I have had this leaf for a long, long, time.  It was just waiting to be used up, but never had met the card it was intended to meet.  That is, until just now.  I also contemplated the idea of using more embellishments, but chose to stop where I did.

For this card, I am entering one challenge and ONLY one challenge.  I have been meaning to try this new concept of one to one.  I really do just love combining sketches and color themes with fancy folds and challenges that use specific elements.  It helps to get the creative juices boiling.  However, this time I am stepping out of the box of normality to see just how creative my mind could be, on it's own per say.     Let's see how long I might be able to keep this up....who's with me????

So without further ado, here is my card:
