Color Dare #6

Challenges, they are fun!

This weeks Color My Heart Dare was to take an existing CTMH paper packet and add one (or two) additional colors.  We were also supposed to create a card that would work for another "sketch challenge".  I chose to do the Mojo Monday Sketch: Sketch #247, Round or Square!

I used the Footloose paper packet, and the June Stamp of the Month (Last day to order it--TODAY!).  I embossed the bird using white powder so it would stand out, and I used the Irresistibles Persnickety Journaling Spots (Z1734).  The "extra" color I used was Sorbet.  Making this a play on the primary colors.  Buttercup, Lagoon, and Sorbet (red-ish). Anyone want to guess what the little birdie told me?

Color Dare #5

This week's color dare is: Create-your-own Rainbow based on the color wheel.

We were charged with creating a card using all SIX of the rainbow colors.  While it was really fun picking out which six to use, it was hard fitting them all on one card (without just making a rainbow...).

I went with RED: Tulip, ORANGE: Sunset, YELLOW: Creme Brulee, GREEN: Pear, BLUE: Lagoon, and PURPLE: Gypsy.  These are some of my very favorite colors!

This photo shows a little more of the detail.  The sentiment (from C1503: The Best Things) is raised up using foam tape, stamped and mounted on a shape from the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  I used lots of my favorite embellishment: Sparkles! And finally the whole card is mounted on a piece of Tulip cardstock--which made it a little tricky to photograph!  Wish me luck in the weekly contest on Color My Heart's blog!

Color Dare #2

This week's colors were:  Pear, Topiary, Moonstruck, and Lagoon.  I was really excited as blues and greens are my favorite, and I LOVE Lagoon and Pear!

I used the June SOTM S1206, Life is Tweet.  And the pattern: Gallery, in the Wishes Idea Book.  I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for the frame.  I'm not super excited about the way the Baker's Twine looks, I might make some changes there and re-post.  BUT I do love that cute June Stamp of the Month!  Hurry and get one this month!

Take two: (I think I like this one better)

A summer challenge:  Color My Heart Color Dare

I'm excited for some fun challenges this summer.  A fellow CTMH consultant has started a blog daring anyone who will listen to create cards using her color challenges.  Scroll down on the right side of this blog to find the Color My Heart badge to take you to her blog.

I took the first challenge, kind of.  It was monochromatic purple.  I have to admit these weren't even my favorite purples, so I just HAD to break the rules a little and add another color (Buttercup - it's kind of a neutral, right?).  The colors given in the challenge were: (shown from outside to inside on this card) Amethyst, Smokey Plum, and Petal.  I used a clear scallop round card and some CTMH bling along with D1491 Hooray Bouquet stamp set with black ink.  You can't really tell with this (super amateur) picture, but the Amethyst cardstock is on the inside of the card.  The top of the card starts with the Smokey Plum circle.  All cuts were made on the Cricut using CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge. Overall, I really like the way it turned out.  Looking back, I could have even used White Daisy or Colonial White for the flower.  But I just couldn't resist the Buttercup!

I would love for my friends and customers to participate in the Color My Heart challenges, if you do, be sure to let me know!
