This is my card for the Color Challenge hosted by Jeanne. Her wonderful colors are: Calypso Coral, Soft Succulent and Misty Moonlight. The dessert option is to add a color of your choice.
These colors made me think of autumn. Perhaps because I am so looking forward to cooler weather! I used a new-to-me stamp set for the first time. I heat embossed in black the image & the sentiment. I thought the milk-can would be good in the Misty blue; and the Coral & Succulent colors could work for the arrangement. I used both those colors on the big leaves and used the Coral on the berries and the Succulent on the little leaves. The artichoke is neutral Mossy Meadow and the cat tails are neutral Pecan Pie.
After watercoloring, I die-cut the image and a mat with stitched rectangles and then layered on DSP and some Chicken Wire. I fussy cut the sentiment and popped it up on Dimensionals and added a braided trim bow. Both the chicken wire and braided trim were part of the suite with this stamp set back in 2018. I had purchased them separately and happened to still have some.
We hope you will join in and show us your creative adventure with this beautiful color combo! TFL

Definitely Fall colors and I love your card! I really like that you embossed the image before coloring it. It seems to stand out more and I love the chicken wire in the bg. Terrific card!

This is a pretty card Diane- I like that you went with a Fall theme (I did to)- I like the milk can and the arrangement. Your fussy cutting skills are amazing.

Diane, you picked the perfect image for these colors! The milk can looks so realistic and the foliage is perfect for a fall arrangement. Love the layout, too!
