Khaki, Aqua, Brown and Cream

I can't believe I have finished a card on Tuesday. But, I did.  And it has some of my favorite colors in it. Also, you must know that if I am making cards on Tuesday it has got to be for a challenge or several challenges. Oh Yeah!!! First up is the sketch. It is from Sketch and Stash Challenge Blog


Colour Create Khaki, Aqua, Brown and Cream
Crafty Hos' Challenge Blog Shade of blue and neutral
Sophisticat Challenge Blue, Brown and cream
Papertake Weekly Challenge Shiny, Sparkly and Special

I think that my card can handle each of these challenges so lets get to it. Here is my card.

I thought getting better lamps would make a difference in my pictures. I used to ott lights to light this, but it still looks dark to me. Well, as you can see I used Tilda with ice cream for my image. I colored it with my copics. and have had it sitting on my desk for weeks. But, I am sure that most of you can tell that all I used were my earth tones except for the hair and for that I useW3 and W5. My papers are Bazzill and the cream paper  is just something from my stash. On the ice cream I used R11 and some glossy accents. The bling is from my stash as are the flowers. The tag is from Spellbinders fancy tags. I embossed some of the paper with the swirls folder and my Cuttlebug.
