CC498 - Eggplant and Curry in my Garden! (9-30-14)
 

Good Morning, everyone! I'm so happy to be your hostess once again for this week's Color Challenge. I hope you're ready to have some fun!

Before we get to this week's colors, let's celebrate our color challenge favorite from last week.



Peggy was the hostess last week, and she chose: Linda's (Holstein) Always in Style card.

Peggy said: "The watercolored dress and card is breathtaking!"

Congratulations, Linda! Your card will be featured on our Pinterest board. The code for your blog badge is attached below.

OK, back to this week's challenge!

I was looking for a poor, neglected color that hasn't been used for at least a year. I went through the updated Color Challenge Archive, and found that the beautiful Elegant Eggplant has been sadly neglected.

She has come out for a moment in the spotlight, along with Crushed Curry and Garden Green. The dessert option this week is to have at least one LEAF on your card. I know, easy!


Here are some cards to get you inspired!

Hi Barbara, what wonderful colors! Here's my fall Birthday card

Look how close to challenge number 500 we are! Thank you for using some neglected colors this week, I had to look up if Garden Green was still a current color! It's still insufferably hot here so I'm not thinking fall but fun to dream of leaves and colors for this card:
