A colour challenge is the challenge set at Fashionable Stamping Challenge. Of course being Fashionable it had to be a classic colour combination which is coffee & cream and let’s not forget that dash of dark chocolate.
How do you take your coffee, is it a frothy cappuccino with that grating of chocolate or a tall, white, flat skinny or do you like your coffee on the dark side, make this challenge fun and show us how you like your coffee! Please remember that we are looking for stamped entries, no digis are allowed. There are very few rules at this challenge site but if you click the link it will take you to the site and you can read all the information, see for yourself the prize on offer and also my very creative fellow DT members artwork for this challenge.
Use stamps that represent coffee break or simply be inspired by the colours.
The stamps I used are from two different The Stampsmith sets. The beautiful woman with dog is from It’s A Dog’s Life and the words from Wizard of Oz. I rooted through my supplies and came up with ribbon, lace, flowers, felt trim and old book pages to layer onto the base which is a Kraft card, that perfect coffee colour. The image was matted onto layers of different papers. I am aware that one layer has a mauve look to it but it is actually brown.
So let us see your coffee & cream, with that hint of dark chocolate entries for this challenges and have fun!

This is beautiful Lynne. Thanks for the other crafting book, they are very much appreciated. When I get back from Prague I am seriously going to get back to crafting. As for starting a blog, I think I will just stick to cardmaking.

Gorgeous artwork Lynne, so elegant and stylish and such a pretty stamp. Oh dear I dislike coffee, I will have to think white, milk & plain chocolate instead LOL. XX
