Flowers Fair Card ~ Color Dare #701

It's time for another color challenge from our team at Color Dare. Every Friday we give you a new palette of color to get you started on a project. For this challenge you must use at least TWO of the colors shown in our graphic. There are Free colors we let you use with the challenge colors. DO NOT add any colors beyond what is in our graphic. 

Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge use the direct link below our graphic. Most of all, have fun!

My design ended up using all 3 colors plus Black and White. I love how bright it turned out! 

Starting with the Product of the Month for April: Eyelet Blooms I created some pretty layers. The die cut layer for the flowers is actually a little peek at a new item coming in May! It's the Sweet Words & Labels Dies and I love all the different looks we'll be able to create with these dies! 

HINT: to remove all the little pieces of card stock our Take Your Pick Tool with the Brush Tip work really well! Just run it back and forth on the back and the pieces will come out of the die! No poking involved. Also, the flat tip works great for placing gems.

The flowers are stamped in our NEW HYBRID Basic Black ink. Yes....another peek at a product coming May 5th! The Hybrid pad is going to give us versatility with being able to color with markers and watercolors! Just stamp, wait a bit for it to dry then color away!

I love this technique of coloring the flowers then adding color to the background. The colors for this challenge lended itself perfectly to this technique! The blue looks like sky surrounding the flowers. By the way, this is only a very small part of the image. The stamp is full size but you don't always need to use it all.

Once colored in I die cut and popped it up on dimensionals. I love how the red shows through the eyelet die cut!
