It is Thursday which means it is time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This week we have. a Color Challenge.

I decided to blend  these colors with Blending Brushes.  This is what I came up with.

• Early Espresso CS card base 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 5-1/2".
• Very Vanilla CS layer 4" x 5-1/4".
• Country Woods DSP 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".
• Sentiment from the Friends for Life stamp set inked with Early Espresso on Very Vanilla CS.
• Sentiment punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
• Leaves cut using the Autumn Leaves dies and the More Than Autumn dies.
• Flicked Early Espresso ink with a wet Water Painter on the leaves.  
• Brushed on Wink of Stella to the leaves.
• Layer the Very Vanilla layer on to the card base.
• Layer the DSP on the Very Vanilla.
• Attach the hexagon punch to the DSP layer.  Place adhesive in the middle of the hexagon to allow the leaves to be tucked under the hexagon.
• Arrange the leaves around the hexagon.
• Attach a few Opal Rounds from the Opal Rounds Assortment. 

• Very Vanilla CS layer 4" x 5-1/4".
• Country Woods strip 3/4" x 4"
• Couple of  blended leaves
