December 16, 2024 Update: Double Winner of the Weekly Favorite at Splitcoast Stampers!

December 17, 2024 Update: Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers!

 

Color My Heart Color Dare has a biweekly challenge that's just right for finishing up your holiday cards. Challenge #579 is open for fun, closing on Thursday evening, December 28, 2023. Below is the color board and it is bold and bright!

I was short on time because my family surprised me with a birthday party forcing me to rush to make the card deadline. I decided to go bold and bright by adding metallic and holographic elements to my card base, using the prints and designs in the paper to reflect colors.

The circles and snowflakes were die-cut and adhered to the card base with thin foam tape. The sentiment was also adhered with thin foam tape. The inside of the card was lined with a panel of white cardstock and decorated with additional circles in holographic paper. 

Please join us at the Color Dare #579 Challenge Blog to view the Design Team's cards.

To add to the challenge fun, I am participating in the December challenge at If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #187 with a fourth card! This challenge ends on December 31, 2023, but I will be joining in future challenges.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Merry Christmas!
