Color Dare #9 - Creme Brulee & Petal

Goodbye Petal! It is August 1 and you have been officially retired from Close To My Heart color family. Sarah made sure to get you involved in this week's color challenge before you left. Thanks to Sarah also for selecting my card as the WINNER for last week's challenge--what a nice surprise that was! I'm entering this card into the Color My Heart Color Dare challenge which can be found here. I used the following items to make this card: Petal CS, Florentine paper, A Blossom, construction wall tape, prisma glitter and silver glitter gel, Black Ink and 3D Foam Tape. Hope you like it! (I didn't see the challenge to use a Freshly Made Sketches for extra credit until I had this card made--maybe I'll have to enter this challenge twice.)

Mojo Monday 248 and Another Color Dare #7

I've had some time to play today so I combined a wonderful sketch by Mojo Monday with the Color Dare #7 challenge of using secondary colors orange, green and purple. The Close to My Heart colors I've chosen are Petal, Pansy Purple, Juniper and Taffy. the stamp sets I've used are: 4 My Friend, A Blossom, Just for You and Love Life. The patterned paper is from Paper Garden a retired CTMH paper featuring the color Petal. Opaque adhesive gems make up the small flower centers.

I've had fun challenging myself to use these three colors together and follow this inspiring sketch also. Thanks for looking and thanks to those involved in hosting these challenges!
