Haunted House Card for Color Dare #217

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog post!  This week we invite you to use all and only these colors:  Sweet Leaf, Sunset, Black and White Daisy.  (If you don't have these Close to My Heart colors yet feel free to substitute something similar so that you can still play along!)

My card was so easy to make!  I just went to Design Space, found my Artfully Sent cartridge, slid the papers and mats into the Cricut Explore and glued the pieces together.  So simple!

Regatta Birthday Card

This card was made for a delightful young lady with Close to My Heart's Regatta paper and the Artfully Sent cartridge.

Quite a while ago I cut out this birthday cake and candle image from the Artfully Sent cartridge and this is what was left on my mat.  I applied Close to My Heart Bonding Memories glue pen to the remnants on my mat and carefully placed the Regatta paper panel on it and lifted up all the pieces.  I personalized by writing in the cake stand with a My Legacy Writer and purple glitter pen (Crayola).  The candle flames were colored with Gold Wink of Stella and the cake stand was colored with Metallic Silver pen.

I'm entering it into the following challenges:

     Between the Folds--Regatta paper

     Cards in Envy--Birthday

     Seize the Birthday--Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
