Welcome! Color Dare Challenge #684 is a harbinger of spring, featuring a variety of pastel colors. This biweekly challenge runs through Thursday, January 1, 2026.
Being busy during the holiday season sent me to my paper stash for pastels. Rather than creating a watercolor background, a page from a 6x6 pad was used to achieve the sketch's colors. After matting it with a layer of dark cardstock, a floral cut-apart from another paper collection was matted and adhered with foam tape. This was added to a pastel pink card base.
To finish the card, I resisted the urge to add gems and purposely excluded a sentiment. The interior was lined with white cardstock and decorated with leftover patterned paper.
