A Five Color Challenge for Color My Heart Color Dare #88

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare post where we feature colors from Close to My Heart.  (Of course, substitutions are allowed as long as they are close to the challenge colors).  Our colors this week are:  Sunset, Smoothie, Lagoon, Sweet Leaf and Buttercup.

The inspiration for my card came from Julie Davison whose card I found on Pinterest.  I used a 1.25" square punch to cut out the paper squares and used many pieces from my considerable Close To My Heart "stash".

Close To My Heart products used:

    White Daisy CS

    Buttercup Fleurs des Jardines B & T paper (retired)

    Roxie paper (retired

    Lagoon CS

    Just Blooms flower (retired)

    Aqua Dots

    Claire paper (retired)

    Chantilly paper (retired)

    Words of Comfort

    Lagoon Ink

Check out what the fabulous Color My Heart Color Dare Design Team B has to inspire you:  Gretchen, Michelle, Hansi and Sarah.  You have until Thursday, April 10 9PM CT to enter your papercrafted creation here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing what you create with the colors Buttercup, Sunset, Lagoon, Smoothie and Sweet leaf.

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

The Chantilly paper pack from Close To My Heart will retire today so I decided to play with it just one more time.  I followed the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge # 204 and was inspired to use both sides of the paper in the current Heart 2 Heart Challenge to use both sides of a piece of paper.

Products Used:

     Chantilly Paper (sold out from Close To My Heart)

     Artbooking cartridge to make black overlay (pg 50  overlay shift at 2.25")
            and flower (pg. 80 icon shift at 2")

     Sparkle and Shine Washi tape (from CTMH Holiday Gift Guide)

     Ruby CS
     Hollyhock CS

     Black CS

     Heart hole punch

     Liquid Pearls White

Here is the Sweet Sunday Sketch I followed:

I'm also entering this card into The Card Concept #2 challenge featuring "Texture".  The CAS style I am showcasing is "Clean and Layered".

The new Close To My Heart catalog will be available on my website here on Friday, Feb. 1.  Please stop by to check it out.

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

I liked this Freshly Made Sketch as soon as I saw it and I promised myself I would use it as soon as I completed all my Design Team responsibilities (Color My Heart Color Dare, Heart 2 Heart Challenges and Sunday Stamps).  There are only 3 hours to go before the linky list closes so I've accomplished my goal!

Here is my card:
