Vicki(vdutchr) selected the following complementary colors for today's challenge:
Pumpkin Pie
Cajun Craze
Midnight Muse
The optional dessert was to make a Thanksgiving or "thanks" card....which I did not do...as you can see.
I recently was inspired by Barbiep and Reddyisco when they used this image on their beautiful cards. I've had it for awhile, but have never inked it up. I was coloring it today..and voila...it fit the CC in my mind. The blue panel is faux letterpressed with black on the EF, very lightly sponged with black again, clear embossed and then sanded to bring some of the blue back.

Wonderful card, Sallie! Love the pottery and neat navy panel you created! I may have to make another card, using my PTI Gracious Vases set--thanks for your lovely inspiration!

Sallie, this is gorgeous. Wonderful faux letterpress. I need to give that technique a try. I do love this image, and you colored it to perfection. Another one for my "FAVES"
