We Have a Color Challenge For You This Month!
Welcome to a March Control Freaks Blog Hop. We have a pretty trio of colors we all worked with for this month’s challenge. If you have just arrived here from visiting with my talented teammate Melissa Davies, I will direct you to the next person participating in the hop at the end of my post.
These are the three colors we are working with:
You can see that I added lots of stamped branches from the Lighting The Way Bundle and also added a few mini dragonflies from the Dragonflies Punch. I even colored them with Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Brush:
