Hello everyone! We have a new color challenge for you this week from Utah Divas International! Look at these beautiful earth tones -- Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and Basic Gray!
Now I must admit, these are not usually colors that I would choose or combine. But then, isn't that why we play along with challenges? They help us to step outside the box and try new ideas and combinations that we wouldn't normally do on our own. And I must admit, these colors do look beautiful together on this chair!
Well, how well do they look together on my card for this challenge?
I rather like how this turned out. I used the Seasons of Friendship and Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp sets. I added some Very Vanilla Cardstock and stamped all the images on this, mounting it on layers of Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip. Doesn't that little own look right at home in that tree? He is punched with the fabulous Extra Large Owl Punch and I added some black Brads for his eyes. The only other thing I did was to add some 5/8" Satin Ribbon (OK, it's Early Espresso but close enough!).
And of course, I had to do some stamping on the inside of the card -- a few leaves that look like they blew up in the corner of the yard!
Okay, now it's your turn! Are you ready to accept the UDI color challenge this week? I hope so. You'll want to check out the projects that the other Design Team members created and once you're completed your project, return back to the UDI blog and leave your linking information! We can't wait to see what you do this week!
Gretchen you did a great job with these colors which I agree, I would never have choosen. You can always make lemonade out of lemons.

Gretchen this is too cute. You're right, that little owl looks right at home. Love the way you used the brads for his eyes, they look real!!!
