Can you believe it's a full week into September already? Time sure flies! September also means we have a new bi-monthly catalog AND a new Essentials catalog. Both catalogs are full of fun and exciting new products so be sure to check them out!
This Color Dare Challenge is all about saying good-bye to the retired Color of the Year: Melon. It served us well and deserves one last hurrah. For this challenge you must use Melon as you focal color. Then you add 2 colors of your choice. See the graphic below for the fine print rules.
I combined some retired with new for this card. I used a pattern from our new Make It from Your Heart Volume 6 book. Our How-to books make creating layouts and cards SO easy! With color samples, cutting and placement guides you'll be finished before you know it!
I colored with TriBlend Markers (see the photo for the colors). My two colors to go with Melon are Honey Butter and Sage.
I first used Sage ink to stamp the sentiment but it didn't stand out very well. So I cut another piece of paper and stamped in Black. I trimmed it down and rubbed the edges on the Sage ink pad to define the edges. Then I used Foam tape to pop it up and placed it on top of the original sentiment I didn't like.
Close To My Heart products used for this card:
- White Cards and Envelopes Value Pack
- Cardstock: White Daisy
- Exclusive Inks: Intense Black, Sage
- Papers: Melon Mania (retired), Mix-in July-Aug (retired), Melon Glitter (retired)
- Make It from Your Heart Book - Volume 6, Pattern 26
- Thin Foam Tape
- Melon Pearls (retired)
