CC204 - Creamy Olive Cameo's

I am so excited! Last night I was asked to host today's colour challenge CC204 so here are your colours: Creamy Caramel, Old Olive, Cameo Coral plus any neutral that you would like. After I picked these lovely colours I was stumped as to what to do with them! It's supposed to be a challenge isn't it? *wink*



I started this card by picking some designer papers that had the colours from the challenge in it. I then decided to use black as my neutral and then had the task of making it all work together! I figured that the best way to accomplish this task was to use a silhouette and then to create my own background using the challenge colour inks. I did this simply by using a sponge and my ink pads. I actually hunted around for a sketch to use because my mojo was temporarily on vacation so I stopped by the CPS Blog and came across this fun one to try.



I occasionally like to pull out my micro beads, but this time I tucked them aside and attacked this card with some sugar...beads that is :) If you have never heard of sugar beads before, they are miniature glass beads that are smaller and finer than your traditional micro beads. I love how this effect adds some texture and pizazz to a card! So much fun and only a little bit messy :D
