Chelsea Gardens ~ Color Dare 274


Welcome to our first Color My Heart Color Dare of 2018!

Color dare 274 is open until Jan. 18th.

You'll notice a few things are different and we hope easier for you to play along! Come back each Friday to see what the new challenge is and then create a paper craft to share!

This week the Design Team is challenging to use the colors Glacier, Charcoal and Bashful with optional Silver. Black and White will now always be allowed unless stated. If you don't have the exact Close To My Heart colors you may substitute something close, but don't add any brand new colors to the palette.


I love the soft colors of this palette. I got out some of my new products from Seasonal Expressions 1 and started creating! The pattern was one I saw on Pinterest by Wanda Pettijohn. I first stamped the flowers and then added some Bashful ink with a water brush with Glacier added to the leaves. These images have matching Thin Cut shapes so that made it easy!
I LOVE the marble look of the paper! The flowers are popped up a bit with some foam tape and the last step was to paint a bit of Clear Shimmer on the petals.
