Hi Stampers,

I'm here with this week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge. This time we had a color challenge…

The other day I was playing around with my edgelit die and looking at some of the 2012 Create Challenges-009 scraps when it hit me that it creates a fun rolling hill for grass – so when I got the color combination for this challenge I decided to try out my idea using the Send Me Soaring stamp set. The card didn't quite come out the way I saw it in my head – but I do LOVE that rolling grass hill…

Did you see my Wordless Wednesday post yesterday? I had pictures of how I got this pretty shaded look on my clouds. I love the way the clouds came out. The shading is actually much subtler than it looks in this picture – I turned up the contrast a bit to help you see it.

It's a very quick and easy way to get some depth to to the clouds in your sky – try it out!!

Don't forget to visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to get more inspiration from the other designers!
