This is my sample for CC859. I am your hostess this week and I chose old olive, gorgeous grape and highland heather for my color trio. Dessert option this week is designer paper.
I decided to do some coloring this week for my card. I used an older CottageCutz stamp- Oriole w/Blossoms. I changed the oriole to a sparrow since orange wasn't one of the colors this week.
Colored the images with a combo of Stampin' Blends and Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. THe background paper is from the Stampin'-Up "hand penned" collection.
Added some white satin ribbon, bow, gorgeous grape rhinestones and the hugs sentiment to finish off my card.
Hope you can play along this week. Looking forward to seeing all the creativity in the CC gallery.

Hi Mary.......I see that you and I were thinking along the same line as far as coloring our flowers purple. Almost the same variety too. Your card came out great. Your coloring is great, the bird is adorable and I love your designer paper. So feminine, so sweet, so glad you picked these colors this week.
Thanks for leaving that nice comment on my card and for inviting me to join your team last month.
