I'm so excited to be joining the design crew with the Color Challenge for the coming months. Jeanne has a delightful trio of colors for us this week. I made 5 different backgrounds with these colors before deciding to use this one. Each refill was mixed on my acrylic block palette with Whisper White ink before blending them together on the paper. I thought this one would work best with an idea I had to mix it all up with a little black and white stripes. There are some faceted dots and metallic ribbon for a bit of sparkle. That's dessert!
Enjoy the gallery! Maybe you will give these colors a try and join us, OK?

The background you created is perfectly blended, and looks fabulous behind the group of flowers and pretty bow. The black and white strip adds a great patterned element as well. Beautiful card Chris, and welcome to the CCDT!

I LOVE this card - love the hombre effect, love the pairing of Bloom and Incredible. Love the black and white touches. I liked your story about trying different effects and picking the best one. Great final outcome, worth the effort!!
