I'm delighted to be hosting the color challenge this week with Soft Sea Foam, Garden Green and Soft Suede. Dessert is ANY animal, as big as a whale or as tiny as an ant.
I don't know what has gotten into me but I have purchased three different sets in this year that have bears. Anyway, that's just a piece of how I came up with this combo - and the animal dessert!
I had a little trouble getting enough Soft Sea Foam into this because the leaves are so tiny. So, I added some larger fussy cut leaves AND outlined the whole image with Blends in the lighter green. If I was to do it again I would mask the bear and tree and use ink with blending brushes instead. Next time!
Finally, I love having black and white DSP and this new set of patterns doesn't disappoint. Graphics to accent my stamping and images galore to color...
Anyway I hope you can think of an occasion/card to create with these color! I think they can be so pretty and/or striking.

My favorite set from the new catalog, Chris!The animals are so realistic and lifelike! And what a wonderful card you've made with this image. I like the Sea Foam in the background--it makes the panda glow!

Adorable bear Chris!! I have also jumped on the bear wagon!! I love your card - and I see lots of soft sea foam - it's beautiful shadowed around the bear too. Thanks for stretching me with these colors and dessert!

The panda taking a nap in a tree is so sweet and cute! Perfect for the challenge colors. Love the black and white strip and the added leaves. Fabulous inspiration for a wonderful color combo!

This panda is perfect for your colors this week Chris! He looks so comfortable in that tree. The Sea Foam background is lovely as are the stripes along the bottom. I somehow missed tha DSP: I’ll have to go back through my catalog.
