So little question for you
@earlene - does the outline color have to remain the same if using more than two colors? Could I use multiple outline colors?
Thanks!
I'm sorry I didn't see your question sooner. My car has been giving me trouble and yesterday (Sunday) the internal temps inside my car were a whopping 114° to 120°F for several hours during my drive. Needless to say, I was drained and exhausted by the time I reached my destination. Today was another bad day with the car, but I am sticking here in Evanston, WY for a couple of more days, (car-less) so will have time for follow up.
Multiple outline colors. Interesting question. I have not seen any photos of submissions to the Great Cakes Challenge in 2016 with more than only one outline color. There are plenty with multiple internal colors, but they all had the same background color. That doesn't mean it wouldn't work, only that it wasn't part of the design concept per the rules set forth. Nor does it mean it wouldn't be a great variation. ETA: link to all entries in Great Cakes Aug 2016 Dancing Funnel Challenge:

Looking back at the Great Cakes Soap challenge guidelines, which were really based on the technique as developed by it's authors, I'd say no. Here is a quote indicating the border color is one color choice: "each segment had to have the same color bordering it and the color inside the shape could only have
one solid color". Now, if you do layers where say, the bottom half of your soap has one background color, but then the top half of your soap has a different background color, but you cannot see them unless you turn the soap over, then I would say yes. Clear as mud?
Let me consult with the other Challenge Hosts and get a bit of feedback. They may have some thoughts on the question that haven't occurred to me as yet. In the meantime, while we consult, why not try it both ways, and see how they compare?
Maybe you should try it, and then once you see how it looks, if you love it so much that you really want it to be your submitted soap, send me a PM with the photo and the other Challenge Hosts and myself will make a decision together.
