Hello Color Challenge Fans!... It's my pleasure to be your Color Challenge hostess for this week's CC838! It's my hopes you had a wonderful Easter weekend and that the joy of the season filled your heart.

For this week's colors selection, we will be going back to the 'Basics'... Basic Black, Basic White, and Basic Gray with the dessert option of adding 'your favorite color'. I'm hoping you can bring life to these hum-drum colors by adding your favorite color. We would be delighted if you participated in sharing your take on this weeks challenge!

here’s this weeks https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/g...&ppuser=142972

CC838 SC848 Crocodile Kisses
 

this color scheme was a bit of a stretch for me- Went with a rather cute crocodile, keeping to a basics color scheme with the addition of green. Swapped out the grey with silver glitter paper, and added a dotted background. Note that the bird and frog are safely away from those jaws! Here's Crocodile Kisses

This was fun to use the basic colors and then add a bit of color. I love black and pink together.
So my Poppies are Pink.

Sorry I am so late!!

A bit late, but here's my card for back to basics...I mean what's more basic than wine, right?

Remade my card using "white wine". Would love to know which one you like better. Cheers
