Chat is our hostess this week and she is giving us the colors of Garden Green, Blackberry Bliss & Pretty Peacock to work with and dessert is anything goes, so I added a 4th color, Crushed Curry.
Once again, I am using a brand new AALL & Create stamp that is seeing ink for the first time. I embossed my large WW mat, sponged some Blackberry Bliss over it, matted on Blackberry Bliss before attaching to my WW card base. I then embossed a smaller WW panel and sponged Blackberry Bliss over that as well before matting on Blackberry Bliss and attaching to my card. I then stamped my image in Blackberry Bliss, colored and sponged Pretty Peacock ink and Crushed Curry ink over it before matting once again on Blackberry Bliss. I popped my image up and added some Pretty Peacock gems that have a hint of gold in them. I haven't used Blackberry Bliss in such a long time and this particular stamp was perfect for these colors. I hope you can all join in this week and play along. TFL.

Blackberry Bliss is the winner on this card, Mary! How fun to sponge some of your embossed sections; it certainly gives them a different look. Lovely script and numbers on your main panel with more sponging (one of my favorite things to do)~

Wonderful design! Love that collage stamp. The sponging looks so nice. I like how you sponged the embossing, too. Beautiful coloring on the berries and leaves. Lovely use of the challenge colors!
