The Color Challenge (CC56 is saffron, gray & sky blue. I was a little hesitant about these colors at first, but they are growing on me
I started by sponging the two yellow inks from the bottom up then I sponged the blue from the top down. Gray was also sponged from the bottom up for a couple of inches to help ground the image. The sponged piece was placed into my Misti & the first time I stamped it I used the gray flannel but I didnÂ’t think it was quite dark enough so I stamped it again w/ the Versafine. I added a few white highlights and some gray shadows below the silhouette. It was die cut several times w/ a couple of lt blue layers in between & on the bottom. I had the narrow little strip left over so I tacked it close to the left edge & added a die cut butterfly & a couple of mini brads.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie your cards are always gorgeous. The blending of your colors is so applying . All the dash-marks and the little left over strips just make it pop.

Beautiful card, Julie, with your design carried over multiple panels.....that takes precision. Love the sky behind your wonderful silhouetted field flowers. Wonderful Van Gogh quote to go with your scene.
