I'm your Color Challenge Hostess this week, and I was looking for a poor, neglected color that hasn't been used for at least a year. I went through the updated Color Challenge Archive, and found that the beautiful Elegant Eggplant has been sadly neglected.
She has come out for a moment in the spotlight, along with Crushed Curry and Garden Green. The dessert option this week is to have at least one LEAF on your card. I know, easy!
I broke out my new-to-me set, Hennah Elements from Altenew. I had such fun making this card, but it reminded me of the little kid who says, "I know how to spell banana, I just don't know when to stop." Well, that was me with this card. First the central flower, then masking and the side flowers, then the leaves. Then I colored with my Copic markers, but then, having no idea when to stop, I got out my Garden Green stamp pad and started adding leaves and tendrils and the sentiment. I'm tellin' ya', this set is fun!
Please jump in and play along with us this week. You might be our next CC fave of the week and have your card featured on our Pinterest board.

Stunning card and really love these colors together! You don't have to twist my arm to use a leaf as my first choice in stamps is something floral! :-)
