Happy Tuesday and welcome to this week's color challenge.
Let's start things off with our color challenge favorite from last week.
Peggy selected this beautiful chalkboard Smoky Holiday Topiary created by Allison aka thecircleguru.
Peggy said: "It's a beautiful vintage holiday card and the chalkboard topiary is perfect for the card".
Congratulations Allison!! The code to add this badge to your blog is at the bottom of this post.
Now onto this week's colors. It's #446 on the color challenge charts for us. I am your hostess this week and have chosen a neutral, an in-color and a regal for our color palette.
Are you ready for a crazysuedestarfruit?

Cajun Craze Soft Suede Summer Starfruit
Dessert: Let's pull out some ribbon and make a bow treatment for your card. A bow with a button, flower, rhinestone center etc.
October Guest Designers: Welcome the amazing talents of Angella Crockett and Lois Bak. Both were selected from last week's chalkboard dessert option. It pays to have dessert some weeks ladies. You never know when we might use that option to invite you to guest design with us.
Please keep in mind, too, that while we list SU 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 CC446 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
While I didn't get the dessert I thought I had the suede, but after looking at the other samples - once again, I was wrong -- sheesh. Hopefully it is close enough~ great colors!!
Awwww.... thanks ladies! I'm honoured to be your choice for last week's challenge! I'll be playing along this week too! Just have clear off all the junk on my desk... ;)
Mary- snazzy colors. I tweaked them a bit for this card, and added light green, orange and turquoise. Isn't he the cutest owl? It's from the 7th Annual WA shoebox swap last weekend Here's Owl Just For You

Mary, I loved your choice of fall colors this week. I did have to use Crushed Curry instead of Summer Starfruit. Also Peggy, your choice of Ally's gorgeous chalkboard card was perfect. Congratulations Ally :-)
A Big Congratulations also to our 2 new October Guest Designers Lois and Angella. Way to go girls :-)

I've really surpassed myself this week and managed to get my card into three challenges but to be truthful it was the colour challenge that started the process. It turned out to be a very soft card, here it is Become Extraordinary .
Starfruit is a tough color for me to use so this was a challenge. Here is my card.

Thanks for the great color challenge!! I decided to create two cards using the Masking Tape technique and was able to incorportate a bit of dessert with card #2 :-)
I seriously LOVED these colours, although challenging, it was FUN! I did however had to ink and spray PP to get them closer to the colours in the challenge (BUT I love doing that anyway - best way to use up scraps!)
