Thanks a Lot (CD #645)



This Color Dare Challenge #645 begins on Friday, March 28, 2025, and ends on Thursday, April 10, 2025. The color board below gives four colors, of which three must be used, but four may be used. Except for the "free to add" colors, no additional colors may be included.


I saw these colors as yellow, sage, pink, and dark green. I chose to use all of them. The striped paper was adhered to a panel of dark green cardstock. The sentiment was stamped, colored with markers, and die-cut. The die-cut elements were added directly to the panel. The tags were added using foam tape. The card panel was added to a white card base. The inside of the card was decorated with coordinating leafy branches.

Discover what our Design Team did with these spring colors at the CD 645 Blog. The Team hopes you will be inspired to create a project for our challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.
Melanie
