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

Oh, Julie, this is gorgeous! I just love your sponging and how you've even added the color so the light is peeking through some of the plants. Stunning, and I can see why it was last week's favorite in the Color Challenge! Hugs!
