CC838 - It's back to the basics: BASIC, BASIC, and BASIC - 4/6/2021

[n2scrappin]

Hello Color Challenge Fans!... It's my pleasure to be your Color Challenge hostess for this week's CC838! It's my hopes you had a wonderful Easter weekend and that the joy of the season filled your heart.

For this week's colors selection, we will be going back to the 'Basics'... Basic Black, Basic White, and Basic Gray with the dessert option of adding 'your favorite color'. I'm hoping you can bring life to these hum-drum colors by adding your favorite color. We would be delighted if you participated in sharing your take on this weeks challenge!


It's time to celebrate Karen's CC837 favorite! Drum roll please...Congratulations, Kari B., Karen selected your design 'Hey Hexy' as her favorite. She said, "Oh, those sweet dainty little daisies on the beautifully distressed background - the perfect combination!!!"

Congrats Kari! The code to add the favorite badge to your blog is located at the bottom of the post. We will also feature your card on the Color Challenge Pinterest board. See that HERE.

Listed below are the colors I have chosen for this week's challenge: It's back to the Basics: Basic, Basic, and Basic, which translated means:

BASIC BLACK
BASIC WHITE
BASIC GRAY

And now for the dessert option... spice up those basic colors with "ADDING YOUR FAVORITE COLOR"!

Take note, you are always welcome to use neutral shades from Stampin' Up in addition to the challenge colors. You can find those colors HERE.

here’s this weeks Don’t worry...Bee Happy 😊 by Kari B. at Splitcoaststampers

[Crafty Julia]

this color scheme was a bit of a stretch for me- Went with a rather cute crocodile, keeping to a basics color scheme with the addition of green. Swapped out the grey with silver glitter paper, and added a dotted background. Note that the bird and frog are safely away from those jaws! Here's Crocodile Kisses

[pvilbaum]

This was fun to use the basic colors and then add a bit of color. I love black and pink together.
So my Poppies are Pink.
