All Occasion Card (CD653)

 



Attention card makers and paper crafters! Color Dare Challenge #653 is up on the blog. This biweekly challenge runs through Thursday, June 5, 2025. Here is the color board:


My color selections include three different shades from the purple family, plus a soft mint green print. I also used white and black cardstock. With only two required colors, I kept the card simple.

First, I die-cut two rectangles from patterned paper and two branches with filigree leaves in black cardstock and the mint patterned paper, stacking and adhering them to the purple shaded paper. The mint rectangle was adhered directly to the black panel, followed by the purple panel using foam tape for dimension. The silver metallic gem stickers were adhered. The finished panel was adhered to a white card base. The inside was decorated with a few mint die-cut sprigs. I elected not to add a sentiment at this time.

Look at the Design Team's cards and join the Color Dare Challenge #653. Thank you for stopping by to view my card. I appreciate your comments.
Melanie
