The Color Challenge (CC568) is saffron, gray & sky blue. I was a little hesitant about these colors at first,  but they are growing on me. 

I started by sponging the two yellow inks from the bottom up then I sponged the blue from the top down. Gray was also sponged from the bottom up for a couple of inches to help ground the image. The sponged piece was placed into my Misti & the first time I stamped it I used the gray flannel but I didn’t think it was quite dark enough so I stamped it again w/ the Versafine. I added a few white highlights and some gray shadows below the silhouette. It was die cut several times w/ a couple of lt blue layers in between & on the bottom. I had the narrow little strip left over so I tacked it close to the left edge & added a die cut butterfly & a couple of mini brads.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
