Betty's colors for today's Color Challenge were: Close to Cocoa, Barely Banana, Garden Green and neutrals of choice.
There was a dessert of flourish(s) of gems or pearls which I chose not to do and a "cherry on top" of a light sky blue, which I opted out of also.
This is another one of those Hero Arts stamps that puts down the background. I used the acrylic paint for "ink" and then clear embossed it. This was an experiment...someplaces it took and others, it didn't. I liked the effect, so I kept it.

Nice card, Sallie! It looks so dream-like! We must have the same taste in stamps, as this one is on my "wish list" and has been for a while! I know we have some others that are the same, too!!
