Diane is our hostess this week for Color Challenge CC919. She selected some beautiful fall colors... Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, and Mossy Meadow with the Dessert Option: Gold.
I was having difficulty with this color combo until I ran onto SU's Cajun Craze glitter paper, it was a perfect find for Diane's colors. Everything came together from that point on! I just love the squirrel and how using a sponge dauber gave him so much color! The sentiment is heat embossed in gold to add that extra touch of gold!
Join the 'Gold' rush, we the design team can't wait to see your inspirational beauty using these colors!

LeAnn, I love the combination of that wonderful sparkly paper with the cute squirrel (SQUIRREL!!!) and the pierced design on the Cajun layer. So very pretty!

What an awesome card, LeAnn! I love how you've used that specialty paper and those window squares are perfectly cut too. I don't know why I didn't get into the squirrel last year when it first came out but this year I can't get enough of that rascally critter. Your coloring of the little guy is delightful.
