Greenery Lane ~ Color Dare #692

 Friday means a new color challenge from our Team at Color Dare! This challenge gives you three colors but you only have to use 2...or all 3! There are Free colors you can use with your 2 or 3 from the graphic. DO NOT add any other extra colors. If you are combining challenges be careful of your colors!

Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge use the direct link below the graphic.

When I started my card I was thinking of using only 2 of the colors. Plans changed and I ended up using all 3 colors! You need to be flexible, right? I kept the design simple and love how it turned out. The idea for the scored circle came from a reel I saw shared by Kathy's Stamping World. After watching her idea I knew it was a detail I wanted to include in my design. I love what a sharing community we are!

In keeping with a simple design and being inspired by Kathy's idea, I got out my Greenery Lane Washi Tape and picked out the leaves matching the green in the challenge and die cut just those leaves. I also die cut some of the dainty flowers with the dies out of cardstock. Some of the leaf tips are popped up with foam to give some dimension.

Here's where my plan original deviated. I decided the flowers looked too plain without a center so I added a tiny yellow flat pearl.

The inside of the card coordinates with the card front. I had a couple leftover leaves and flowers just begging to be used. the inside is the perfect place for those leftovers. I did include the flat pearls since they are fairly flat. When I use the card I'll write a custom message.

I hope you like this idea and will give it a try yourself! That's what makes sharing so much fun....inspiring others!

Have a crafty day!
