Happy Tuesday! Ready for a new color combination to get the creative juices going this week?
Before we get started I want to announce the favorite from Nancy's CC444 challenge last week.
Nancy said: Sandie, your CAS Tag Card is So Gorgeous and Creative :-) TFS and Playing along
Congratulations Sandie!
The code for the badge to enter on your blog is attached at the bottom of this post.
Ok, on to this weeks challenge...
Were you (or are you..) a gumball fan? I love all the different colors and patterns you find on them! So this week our challenge is,
Smoky Slate White Gumball Green
Neutrals of Choice
Dessert: Let's see that Chalkboard Technique! You can find instructions in the SCS Tutorial section HERE
Please keep in mind, that, while we list Stampin-Up colors for the challenges these are just color reference points. Use the closest colors you have. We want everyone to be able to play!!!
Please put CC445 in your keywords section (and if you have more than one challenge use a comma to separate them) so we can find your card! If you need help uploading click here

thanks for a great challenge and I loved the dessert option Peggy-gave me a chance to use a stamp that I have had for awhile and bought for this chalkboard technique
Thank you again Peggy for a really fun color combo. I was amazed at how easy my card went together. I am planning on sending my card (link above) to Shelli Gardner our SU CEO for a little encouragement during her healing process. Sure fun being your partner this week.
A Big Congratulations to "sistersandie" for the CC444 Favorites Challenge.
Sandie, Your card really stood out with your original and gorgeous CAS Tag design. Thanks for playing and please join us again :-)

Oh my this was a hard combo for me to work with. (I know that's why this is called a challenge! LOL) I sure wanted to brighten it up with pink or another bright color. Here's my card .

That gumball green usually throws me for a loop but combined with these neutral colors I love it!!! I did a pencil shading technique for my "coloring"...hope you like it!
Peggy- great color combination, thanks! I used some stickers and a simple handwritten sentiment for my card- with a striped ribbon border- it's apple picking season in NW Washington! Here's Happy Fall

Thought the Smoky Slate would work well with the Manhattan Flower ef with some added leaves. Brayered Duo
Then I had the main sentiment for this one out on my desk from stamping it on the inside of the first cards as well as the grey piece cut out of the middle of my framing for my first card so I threw together another. Benediction in Grey & Green
Peggy- just couldn't resist adding gold as my "neutral" and some plum for my "cherry on top"- love the color combo of grey, white, and green! I used TPC Studios' Cupcakes for my yummy treat- here's Hi Cupcake

Here is my card for todays challenge, CC445. Thanks for a fun challenge. I'm not so sure I stuck to the exact challenge, I really did try to though. Thanks for looking. I'll have to comment in a little while, I wanted to get this in, now I got to cook. Thanks again.
