Color My Heart Color Dare #184

Feel like getting some inky fingers? Not sure where to start? Well maybe the Design Team at Color My Heart can get you started! Each week we challenge you with a color palette to get you started. You can create whatever you like and if you don't have the exact colors of the dare you can just use something close!

This week colors are Smoothie, Canary, Flaxen, Sweet Leaf with White Daisy. It had a very Spring-like feel to me so I looked over my flower stamp set. Ok....I have a real soft spot for the flower stamp sets! Anyway, I settled on Springtime Wishes and it's matching Thin Cuts.

First I stamped the images on some scrap White Daisy cardstock. Next was using the Thin Cuts and my Cuttlebug to punch out the images. The flowers and leaves were all done using Smoothie and Sweet Leaf so I still needed to get some Flaxen and Canary in there somewhere. I used Flaxen cardstock on the card front and a pattern from the Kaleidoscope paper pack for some Canary!

Color Dare #179 ~ Champagne, Slate, Whisper, Sorbet, Black and White

 Yea it's Friday! That brings us a new Color My Heart color dare! This dare features the colors from the Charlotte papers: Champagne, Slate, Whisper, Sorbet, Black and White Daisy. Lovely, soft colors with a touch of bold from the black.

I got out my Springtime Wishes stamp set and the matching Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts and got to work! I used the pattern paper for the flowers. A photo at the bottom of the line shows the subtle details of the flowers. A fun way to make your card a bit different is to cut off about 3/4" of the right side of the card. Then adhere a patterned paper to the inside on the right. When the card is closed it looks "regular" but when you open it you discover the patterned paper is actually on the inside of the card!

Color Dare #175 ~ Glacier, White Daisy and Silver

Welcome to a new color dare from Color My Heart! 

I was very excited to create with these colors as they are right in my
 "favorite zone".

This photo of my daughter and her family was perfect for this color dare so a layout it was going to be this week!

The flowers are from the NEW Springtime Wishes stamp set AND it's matching Thin Cuts! Boy does that make cutting out the flowers easy! If you're not familiar with Thin Cuts they are dies you place on top of your image (or you can cut the image then stamp) and running it through your Cuttlebug type machine. That's it!

The flowers are silver embossed and painted with a bit of watercolor paint. I also used a couple pieces of the Picture My Life White Overlay cards. I trimmed them down to fit my project and it's a nice soft and subtle way to get some journaling on the page. 

All products are Close To My Heart:

--Springtime Wishes stamp set

--Springtime Wishes Thin Cuts

--Cardstock: White Daisy, Glacier

--Special Paper: Zoe, Whimsy Paper Fundamentals, Silver Glitter paper (Black & Grey pack)

--Ink: Glacier

--Watercolors and paintbrushes

--Glacier Fundamental Assortment

--Embossing: Silver powder, VersaMark pad, heat tool
