A Sunny Happy Birthday


Color My Heart Color Dare is hosting a fun monochromatic challenge. The challenge is to use "Shades of Yellow". You are also free to use white, black, and/or metallic gold but your project should focus on the hues, tints, tones, or shades of yellow. Challenge #481 is underway and will end on Thursday evening, February 10, 2022.


I came across a scrap of yellow paper with a subtle white pinstripe. To decorate I added flourishes using a stencil and glossy white embossing paste, letting it dry overnight. I added the panel to a black card base. To finish the card I die-cut the sentiment from black cardstock five times, gluing each layer together to create a thick, bold sentiment. The letter "i" was dotted with a black gem. The inside of the card was lined with white cardstock and decorated with coordinating paper.

We hope you'll visit our Color Dare Challenge Blog #481. There is a new biweekly challenge beginning every Friday morning so there is always an active color challenge for you to try.

Paper: CTMH "Taste of Summer" (yellow stripe)

    I love your stencilled flourish and the black sentiment really grounds the yellow background. X

    Using that stenciled background on that design paper is very pretty. Love the simplicity of this card with the big sentiment... very pretty card.

    Those flourishes! When I first saw the swirls, I thought they were enamel dots! Nice job with the texture paste. Great card.
