ATSDTC61 - Color Challenge

Wooo-hooo!  Wasn't sure I was going to be able to play this week, but I dropped everything as soon as I got home and went for it.  I'm so glad I did too.  I just *had* to use another one of the Kiki La Rueimages.  This one reminds me of my DD in her school uniform.  This Kiki is Shy Kiki and I just love her.  Is she cute or what?  I paired her with a sentiment from the School Days set to make it a card perfect for a teacher.

Lesa challenged us this week to a color challenge, using Always Artichoke, Rose Red and Black - or as close as you can get!   I was surprised that I didn't happen to have these colors on hand.  But I did find some retired SU! In Colors and used True Thyme & Cranberry Crisp with black.  My base is the True Thyme. 

 

I had picked up a sheet of Cosmo Cricket's The Boyfriend - Homeworkon my last trip to my LSS and thought it would be perfect for a school card.  A little stitching and some ribbon from my May Arts stash and viola!

You can check the ATS bloglater today to see some more cards using this color combo from the design team.  I hope you will play along too.  This really is a fun color combo.  Definitely one I've never used before. 

Please be sure to post your creation to the Wednesday Challenge Gallery:

Thanks for stopping by today.  I also wanted to thank everyone for your sweet comments about my coloring.  It means a lot to me.  I do try.  I've never had a class, but I do practice.  That's all you have to do.  Practice, practice, practice! 

I'll see you all tomorrow with another fun sketch for Sketchy Thursday!!
