Hello (CD #720)




Announcing another color challenge! This is Color Dare Challenge #720, a biweekly challenge that runs from Friday, September 11, 2026, through Thursday, September 24, 2026. Below is the color board:


I chose to use Daffodil Delight, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Soft Succulent, omitting the pale pink. I also used white cardstock and brushed gold metallic paper.
 
This design is made for scrap-busting. Once the scrappy strips were adhered, the sentiment "Hello" was stamped, followed by the "stamped-off" leaves. The flower was die-cut, then brushed with inks, and the die-cut metallic shape was adhered. The entire flower was adhered using foam tape. 

Three tiny gold gems were added to highlight the sentiment.
The inside was decorated with an extra die-cut flower and a strip of coordinating paper.

The Design Team invites you to visit the Blog to view their card examples. Thank you for dropping by,

Melanie

  2. Great papers, Melanie. This brings me back to the time when peach and sage green were the all the rage for decorating!
