CC859 Olives in the Gorgeous Highlands (08-31-21)

[MaryR917]

Hello Color Challenge Fans! It's Tuesday and time for another color challenge. #859 on the charts for us.

Before I introduce the new colors, let's start with Chris' fave from last week. She chose this beauty from DebbieinOC.

Chris said: "Debbie created such a beautiful, dreamy card with her watercolored and dry embossed background. Her pretty flowers seem to just float across the card"!

Congrats Debbie! The code to add the badge to your blog is attached below, and your card will be added to the Color Challenge Pinterest board. Check it out here.

Now onto this week's challenge. I have chosen a subtle, a bright and a regal color.

Are you ready for olives in the gorgeous highlands?

Colors: Old Olive, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather. Dessert: designer paper. Tweak: I used Granny Apple Green instead of Old Olive and added neutral Basic Black. My card does include dessert: two different designer papers.
