Welcome to my blog! Today is the beginning of a new biweekly color challenge at Color Dare. This challenge runs through Thursday, September 3, 2026.
The color board is below. You must use at least three of the colors shown. Neutrals are also permitted, including black and white, and you are free to add metallic silver or gold. Colors outside of these limitations are not permitted.
I recently went through a box of 12" x 12" paper in my stash and found a packet of delightful paper - depicting my favorite domestic pet. The black cat images and green paw prints were already included on the white background, and after fiddling with the measurements, three almost-complete images emerged for a Slimline card. The result was a piece of patterned paper perfect for the card front.
Looking at the color board, the two tones of green paws on the patterned paper matched the required green closely. A few bright butterflies were punched from yellow patterned paper along with a tiny yellow collar. A grape-colored collar is depicted with enamel dots. For something different, a small die-cut silver metallic bow was added to one of the cats. I may add a sentiment to the card later. Additional enamel dots create a more festive vibe.
Thank you for visiting. Please visit our blog to view the array of cards created by the Color Dare Design Team. I would appreciate your comments as well.
