I'm hosting this week's color challenge: Granny Apple Green + Call Me Clover + Real Red. With school starting, or under way for many, I thought plaid might be a fun dessert.
These little bugs are so much fun to play with and I couldn't resist trying them out with these colors. My bug is colored with the challenge colors in Blends Combos. After cutting him out, I layered him onto 3 more die cuts to lift him up a bit. The Buffalo Check plaid is stamped with Call Me Clover on Granny Apple Green. This gives it a little warmer look than if it was stamped on white so when I needed a contrasting vein for my die cut leaf I chose to sponge the Granny Apple vein with Call Me clover to get the same color of green. I highlighted the chewed up portion of the leaf with a little Crumb Cake ink applied with a sponge. This is a rather classic color combination to me: 2 greens with red along with Crumb Cake as a neutral.
The layout is similar to one I've used several times in the past with a twist to show off even a little more of the plaid on the right edge of the card. The red is just a skinny strip of Real Red card stock trimmed and added with glue.
I can't wait to see what you do with these colors!

Chris,
This card is just adorable! I love that little bug and that he took a bite out of the leaf.
