I decided to combine today's Sketch Challenge over on SCS (SC248)with today's Color Challenge over on the Color Throwdown (CTD62). Don't these colors look great together?? I can honestly say I would have NEVER thought to put them together, but I'm sure glad Broni did!!! Now mind you, it was okay to not use them ALL ... but hey, that was part of the challenge for me, LOL!!!
This should be almost like a "no brainer" challenge when you've already got your colors picked for you as well as the layout! Well, I can tell you this NO BRAINER became a little tough for me ... I am, however, happy to say with a few lost hours of laying things out .... looking at this stamp & that ... I finally came up with an idea I was happy with.
I used all four colors required for the Throwdown plus I made a panel for behind the leaves using white CS and stippled with the olive, rust & razzleberry colors. The leaves were made with really rust cs and the Spellbinder Shapeabilities Fall Leaves ... then sponged the Razzleberry & Olive on top. The "Fall Colors" stamp is by Inkadinkado and was stamped using Kaleidocolor Autumn Leaves ink. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

ReplyDeleteIt turned out great Darlene....no one would ever have known you fussed about anything! Know what I love the most? The fact that you used BOTH Razzleberry AND Olive sponging...that turned out awesome, and I will have to try that myself! Amazing leaves as well...just love it hun!
ReplyDeleteWow! Great job blending these colors together. LOVE your leaves and the stippled background! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Darlene! Great challenge card, and such cool colors! I did the SCS sketch challenge yesterday and didn't realize till last night that I'd tagged it wrong! (CS instead of SC--must have been thinking Crafty Secrets!) I kept wondering why it wasn't in the gallery! Maybe I have seasonal dyslexia.....!
