Color Throwdown #118

While doing a little blog surfing I found another challenge to enter.....whoo-hoo!  The challenge over at Color Throwdown wanted us to get our inspiration from the above colors.......... SOFT SUEDE, CHERRY COBBLER and KRAFT.  I think I did pretty well with the cherry cobbler and the kraft, but.....finding soft suede wasn't the easiest thing for me (without going shopping that is) so, I used what I call a light suede!!  Works for me and I hope it works for the challenge.
