You still have time to join in on the celebration of the 800th Color Challenge. 6 different color challenges in one week. Plus, there are prizes!
Barbara's selection was CC779 which called for Terracotta Tile + Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana.
I started by stamping my images in Soft Suede and them outlined all but the words with a Light Crumb Cake Blends sort of for a faux watercolor look. While there aren't specific Blends for all of the challenge colors I found that the Dark Calypso Coral does nicely for Terracotta Tile and I use dark Pool Party with a touch of Light Bermuda Bay to stand in for Coastal Cabana.
I cut out the inside of the larger label die cut and then sponged it lightly with Crumb Cake before doing the inset of the smaller label. Two different embossing folders give very subtle contrast. Yikes! A double serving of desserts - I'm going to need a diet.
Thanks for taking a look. I hope you will join us in celebrating our 800 Color Challenges.

Chris, your cards are always so inspiring! I love the way you used different embossing folders with the same color cardstock and nested die cuts to pull all the lovely elements of your card together. Great job matching colors, too!
