The Cameo Spotlight Challenge #3

Slate Blue/Gray • Beige • Sage Green
additional neutral colors allowed are: black, white and kraft
(We've noticed that the first color the slate blue looks gray on a Mac but more blue on a PC. Interpret the first color the way you see it on your monitor any range of slate blue/gray will be acceptable. For all our color challenges please interpret the colors as you see them. We are using generic colors not a specific color palette.)

We're so excited to introduce you to a couple of new developments here at The Cameo Spotlight! Every other challenge will now be a color theme! The filmstrip for the color graphic was Lisa Arana's very clever idea. I also would like to take a moment to let everyone know how terrific the designers on this team are. They've all been extremely supportive and have had valuable input into getting this challenge blog up and running. Thanks ladies, I can't imagine a more fantastic team!

The other development is from time to time we'll be featuring a guest designer. It's my pleasure to introduce you to a very talented and super sweet designer. Her style is clean and simple but she often adds a yummy layer or 2 to spice things up a bit.
