Color Dare #672 is the perfect place to share your talents. You are challenged to use the color board below. This color combination is classic, offering numerous possibilities. I was wishing there was one more color - perhaps something bright, like red, orange or green. The absence of an additional color meant I had to work with neutrals or metallics. I shopped my stash and found patterned paper to fit the challenge. The layout is just an old sketch from my scratch pad. I also was intending to go with a masculine card, but I think it is gender-neutral.
Simple to make, the matted horizontal panel was adhered to the Kraft paper, and then the matted vertical panel was added to that using foam tape. The sentiment was stamped and die-cut, then added to the card. Finally, a few gem stickers were added to spread the blue color around the card. The inside was decorated with coordinating patterned paper.
Please give Color Dare #672 a try! This biweekly challenge is open through Thursday, October 16, 2025.
