Today’s project is part of the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop! This month it is a color challenge using: Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Fresh Freesia and Garden Green. This time of year, I am thinking Fall: oranges, yellows, reds. So this truly was a color challenge! Luckily, I quickly thought of using the Cottage Wreaths Bundle with a fun fold design. I hope you enjoy today’s color challenge card. When you get to the end of this post, please “hop” on to the next blog listed below to see more beautiful projects by talented Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world.
