It's time for another Color Dare Challenge! The colors on the board are so bright and bold. This is biweekly Challenge #660, running through Thursday, July 24, 2025.
These pretty colors were pointing me in the direction of flowers, lots of flowers, and as I explored my paper stash, I wanted something more contemporary yet still fun. So, after cutting a few strips of cardstock and adhering them to a small black panel, I found them to be satisfactory for a modern card.
I grew up in a family of aviators. As I laid this out, it reminded me of an aviation chart—a very simple one, so I turned it into a scrap-busting interpretation of an aerial view of an airport.
Attaching the white panel to a black card base, I elected to leave it without texture, preferring the contrast of the bright white. After adding a few strips directly to the white background, the rectangle of strips was adhered using foam tape. A few shiny black gems were added, and the sentiment was stamped directly onto the card front.
The inside of the card was lined with a panel of white, decorated with a few strips and stamped, "Today is YOUR Day!" One member of my family fits the "nerd" description, so it will go to him.
Because I was experiencing difficulty with computer access, I was frustrated and did not realize I had forgotten to adhere the little silhouette images of aircraft until after the card was posted.
