Say Thanks with Flowers




Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #457 opened on Friday, August 13, and will close on Thursday evening, August 26, 2021. This is a biweekly challenge and we're using a Tictactoe board for our colors. This means that you must select three colors in a row. You may add more colors but they must appear on the Tictactoe board. Projects with colors not on the board will not be considered for the Top Three designation. The only exception is that black and white may be used freely.



I selected the diagonal direction from top left to bottom right - Evergreen, Bluebird, and Sage, then added Ballerina, Lemonade, and Sundance. Because I did not have all of the precise colors I substituted a few colors that were a very close match. Using patterned paper adhered to a white card base, two ovals were die-cut and stacked onto the patterned panel. Onto white cardstock, I stamped a floral design and colored it. The sentiment was added. The image was die-cut using another oval die and adhered with thin foam tape. A few gems were added. The inside was decorated by stamping additional flowers.

We have a new biweekly challenge beginning every Friday morning so there is always an active challenge. If you're reluctant to take on a color challenge, join us at our
Color Dare Blog #457 and give it a try.

  3. So pretty and so interesting how different your card is to Cat’s even though you used the same chevron paper. So versatile! X
