Friday means it's time for a new color challenge from the Deign Team at Color My Heart Color Dare! This is a fun one, too. From the grid shown below pick at least 3 of the 4 colors to use on any paper craft. Free colors are Black, White, Neutral + gold & silver. The free colors don't count as part of the "use at least 3 colors".
We referent Close To My Heart colors but you can use any brand you have as long as you can make a very close match. Kind of close doesn't count. When you're ready to join the challenge use the link in the post on our home page.
I decided to make a Slimline Shaker Card for this challenge. Using the Glacier, Sapphire and Evergreen Exclusive Inks + Gold I got busy by cutting a stencil with the Thin Cut seen below. This stencil was used to blend the 3 ink colors for a background. The Mini Blending Tools (link below) work well and create a nice smooth blend of ink.
When I was finished sponging the background I simply stamped images in black. This is an easy way to get colored images without having to spend time coloring each image by hand.
The shaker element is a sprinkle of Bitty Beads and Gold Star Confetti. To complete the Shaker we have Shaker Window Foam + Acetate. It's hard to photo because of the glare from the acetate so I angled the card a bit to minimize the glare.
I added a frame of Glitter Paper (Evergreen) and a small sentiment to finish the front.
