Hello! We’re back to another color challenge week at CAS Colours & Sketches.
I have to admit that I had a hard time figuring out what to do with these colors, mainly because the chocolate brown was the only one I’ve seen in person. So I browsed online and eventually found a few blogs where the new Stampin’ Up In Colors were compared to other SU colors. I think I’ve picked fairly close approximates of the challenge colors for the watercolor wash on my card. I decided to try to use the colors as a background, rather than for the main image of the card. Blending the colors fits the current challenge at AAA Cards. When I was browsing my stamps for silhouette images to use with the background, I came across this Eiffel Tower stamp I’d forgotten I had. So I decided to use it and join in the current challenge at Less is More. Once the watercolor wash was dry, I added the sentiment and the silhouette image of the Eiffel Tower in chocolate brown. I rounded the top corner of the card and decided to call it done. Very CAS, n’est-ce pas?
Edited on September 15, 2016 to add: Thank you to the team of AAA Cards for choosing my card as one of your Top Three for the Blending challenge!

Perfectly CAS, for sure! I love the coloured background and scripty sentiment, and the Eiffel Tower stamp is perfect for our French theme at Less is More. Thanks so much for playing with us 🙂
Stunning CAS card – as always! So pleased to see you playing along at AAA Cards Blending Challenge.
Excellent colour blending to make that background for the Eiffel Tower silhouette. So very CAS in design too.
