Well at first these colors made my lips freeze, but then I remembered that when you brush bleach basic grey it comes out sorta river rock. That was a happy moment and since I've been picturing making hydrangeas out of my favorite blossom from Sweet Summer, I jumped to it, and I am pretty happy with the result. These colors actually ROCK together and I am so excited to see the gallery filled with these gorgeous neutrals!! I hope you all had as much fun with these colors as I did. Great challenge choice Julia my friend!! ;)

Karen, I bet when you look at this beauty, you get a sense of real satisfaction and delight, because it is really, really uniquely lovely -I would never have dreamed in a million years these colors could look so good. I love this stamp set, but I'm not even sure we can get it over here. You've showcased it gorgeously, yet again!

Karen, I hope the colors are growing on you as you see what's in the gallery today. I love your floral wonder- so cool to use bleaching to incorporate a little variation on the theme today. You inspire all of us every day.
