a very late color challenge

These were for the Sage shadow, Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip color challenge ( CC168) on Splitcoaststampers last week.  I made them and forgot to take the picture and post.  I also did the Try a new technique challenge, which was a box with a 3×3 card and envelopes.  Those I hope to post this week.  All Supplies are Stampin’ Up! unless noted.

and an alternate version….I left the sentiment off this one so I could use it for any occasion.  Maybe a Sympathy card seems to fit the bill.
