Champagne & Chocolate

Yum.

Together.  Separate.  However I can get them.  Love, love, love champagne and chocolate.
 
Despite that though, this is the kit I never planned to make.  This week’s challenge for the Battle of the Creative Teams involved using a monochromatic palette.  My girls chose brown as their color and then started talking about what qualifies as brown – rather than rust or some of the other colors that are close to brown, but not.  They decided that the best way to make sure they were using the right color was to create a palette of browns and then use that as the master for recoloring things.

I am always looking for ways to help them with these challenges, so I made this:


And then I started pulling brown things from my kits and recoloring other things to the palette so that they would have a few papers and elements all ready to go.  Before I knew it, I had made them ten papers and more than fifty elements.  And really, that was all I planned to do with this.

But then their GORGEOUS pages started rolling in.  gasp!  They were stunning!

And then a few of my other creative artists asked if they could download the kit too.

And so, with much encouragement from my team, I decided to package it up and make it available to everyone.  And that’s how Champagne & Chocolate was born.





Once I put it in the hands of my entire team I knew it was a good decision to put it in the store.  Just look at these masterpieces:


Champagne & Chocolate is 20% off through the end of today.

These colors are really lovely. They appear to be the "pinky browns" which I love.
I don't really care for the more "coral based browns" but they are hard for this blue and purple girl to work with. Thanks for the freebie. kayt
