Karen is our hostess for this week's Color Challenge CC925. She has selected Poppy Parade, Real Red, and Old Olive with the Dessert Option of selecting any fourth color.
My design's background was created by inking the brick and mortar embossing folder with Black Memento ink. The Crumb Cake die cut panel (an allowed natural color) was created by using a hybrid embossing folder/die and was tipped in white puff paint. The poinsettia was stamped in Real Red ink onto Poppy Parade cardstock. My dessert option... a fourth color, is Crushed Curry used for the flower's center. The flower petals and leaves were highlighted with a black pen and pearls were added for the final touch.
I hope you take advantage of this fun and beautiful challenge! We would love to see you what your take is on using these marvelous colors! Thank you for taking a look!

This is fabulous, LeAnn! Love the brick embossing with the added ink. The poinsettia is beautiful. Everything together is just gorgeous. The puff paint takes it over the top. Well done with the colors!

Bold and beautiful, LeAnn. Your card is stunning and the kraft is used so well. (Just a little botanical fact...the red leaves of the poinsettia are really just leaves....the real flowers are the small yellow flowers in the center)
