St. Valentine's Day (CD #686)

Welcome to the biweekly challenge at Color Dare. This is Challenge #686, ending on Thursday, January 22, 2026. The color board is shown below. When I looked at the color board, I was inspired to make a card for St. Valentine's Day. 

After shopping my paper stash and pulling together a few red and pink scraps, along with silver metallic cardstock, I decided to add a fun fold element. (Click HERE for details on this triple-fold.)

To meet the requirement to use at least three colors from the board, I selected three patterned papers, plus the red cardstock and a dash of silver metallic paper. The inside of the card is lined with white cardstock and embellished with a bit of paper and small hearts.

The Design Team invites you to visit our CD 686 Blog for the guidelines and to view the array of cards designed by our creative team.
