CTD54 was the inspiration for this one. http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/
Good afternoon everyone. It is sunny again here in NE Ohio. We've had a mild (cool summer temps) and "rainy" summer. Because of the crazy weather, I have not took my girls swimming one time. I have had to wear a sweatshirt or sweater in the evenings- crazy! Oh well, summer has still been enjoyable. Enough rambling... on with my card description- I colored this image yesterday when I came across this challenge. I played around with the papers and layout for a while but was not satisfied "I was just not feeling it". I decided to walk away from it and work on it a little today. This is what I came up with.
The sketch is a past challenge from http://jacksonbelleembellishments.wordpress.com/. It was very hard to imagine these colors together, These are definitely colors that I do not reach for often. I'm not one that uses rust, gray, and blush (I do not know if I have ever used blush). I like rust but usually only use it in the fall. Pumpkin Pie is one of my favorite SU! colors and I use this color often (especially in the fall). The crazy combinations are what make color challenges so fun! Right?
Stamps: MFT
Paper: SU! rust, blush, pumpkin, gray, Basic Gray (Ambrosia) DP
Ink: SU! blush and rust for sponging, Black for image
Accessories: Gray Ribbon (miss Elizabeth's from Dollar Tree),Sentiment and bones (behind ribbon) K&Co. Halloween diecuts, Cloud 9 raindrops, Darice rhinestones.
Technique: Gamsol Blending with PrismaColor Pencils.

Northeast Ohio??? Where? That's where I live, too!
Fabulous cards! I did not think about a Halloween theme with these colors but it works! Your Witchy Women are terrific! Thanks for taking on the Throwdown!
Hey girl Halloween was perfect with these colors..Your witches look GREAT!
If I didn't know differently, I'd say these MUST be colors you work with frequently! DARLING work! Those witchy images are priceless!
Love this card! LOVE IT!
I love these images with these colors too! Like Tammy, said, I would never have thought of Halloween, but they are PERFECT! Truthfully, I never use Blush either, and I normally would never think to put these colors together---but I LOVE to challenge you out there in blogland!!!
