Since I've decided NOT to purchase any of the In Color ink pads, I have to make do with the card stock only for the Color Challenges. I just have to choose a main image that needs to be colored in!
I got this Dragon from Starving artist stamps a while ago and hadn't inked it up yet - I thought he was perfect for these colors. And has anyone else noticed that the colors in the October Afternoon Detours line is almost an exact match for this years In Colors? I think I need to get some more. I used a few small scraps for the paper piecing on his tummy and the background. Sentiment is from Hero Arts.
I think I did a pretty good job of making my inks looks similar to Baja Breeze (used a mix of bordering blue and cool caribbean) and Kiwi Kiss (used a watered down Old Olive). Overall, I'm pleased!

This is too cute! Love the plaid panel and the paper pieced belly on the adorable dragon! Fantastic job with the colors - thanks for the heads up on an alternative matching DP!
