Jeanne has chosen some spooky fun colors for this week's challenge and when I saw her dessert -- Too Cute to Spook (Halloween) -- it immediately conjured up this digital stamp which I just received from Mo's Patreon (sorry, this isn't in her shop).
From the start, I visualized a color block card with these fun colors, so I started by cutting strips of the cs for the front. When I was sizing the digi, I did elongate the stamp so it would fit into the oval shape better. To fill the white space, I added a die cut sentiment and drew in a spider with a pen.
My one tip this week: I don't have SU supplies (luckily my friend does so I got the cs from her for this week's challenge) and I do like to color with Copics. I was very fortunate to run across a thread in the Forums where Dianne aka Fionna51 shared a link to a list that matches Copics to SU colors. So, in case you haven't found that thread yet, here's the link to the blog: Joyful Creations with Kim. You will find the link to her pdf at the top of the right column. This has been incredibly helpful to me when I am trying to figure out SU colors that might match my supplies; and, Kim has done an excellent job coloring matching. For instance, this week I started by coloring the band on the hat with YR04 and YR07 -- WRONG! But Kim got it right: YR16 is an almost perfect match for Pumpkin Pie. So big thanks to Fionna51 and Joyful Creations with Kim. https://joyfulcreationswithkim.blogspot.com
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you will join us this week at the Color Challenge and share your "too cute" cards."

This card is absolutely adorable! The color block background is the perfect backdrop. I really like how you’ve used the colors in your main image. And the spider? He just tops off the “too cute!”

Wowsers Debbie! Your color blocking is such a great background technique for that sweet image. I am in awe of your coloring and your spider drawing. Such a cute card!

This is just perfect for this color combo! I love your fun CS panels in the BG. It goes so well with your adorable image. Your coloring is spot on. I'm glad you mentioned Kim's website. I have often referred to her Copic chart. It is so helpful!!
