Color Dare #28--Goldrush, Twilight, Juniper, Ruby, Gypsy, and Cotton Candy

This week's color dare has 6 fun colors!  They are Goldrush, Twilight, Juniper, Ruby, Gypsy and Cotton Candy.  When I first heard about this selection of 6 colors I was thinking "this will be a real challenge to use all 6 of these colors!"  Then I remembered a fun card that I had pinned from Pinterest that uses the Word Window punch that I could adapt for this challenge.  You can find the card that inspired me here.  I like using up scraps of paper (and fabric when I'm quilting) so I took out some patterned paper in these colors and some cardstock in these colors and start punching them out.  I glued 7 columns on white cardstock and attached a Daisy dry embossed panel to the right of the punched out shapes.  I chose the greeting from A Little Thanks because it had a similar shape to the Word Window punch.  The card base is Ruby.  The Ruby flower centers were hole punched, glued down and then glittered with Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel--my favorite embellishment.  I used black and white twine from the  Bakers' Twine Neutrals Assortment to tie a bow and wrap around the multicolored panel.  Initially this was quite a challenge for me and I'm glad that I used all the colors in making this card that I really love.  I had fun meeting this challenge too!  I will be playing with this Word Window punch again soon!


 
 
Now, it's your turn to take up this 6 color challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare!  Please include the Color Dare #28 Color graphic (picture of stamp pads)  in your blog post to link back to us.  I hope you can join us--it did turn out to be a lot of fun to do!

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

I like your take on the original, Marie. I really like that you used patterned paper along with cardstock. I'm glad you were up to the challenge! Great job!

So interesting to see where the DT took this challenge. I love your scrappy card! Both for its design and for how you used up scraps of paper. This is one idea I will have to "pin!"

What a unique shape to repeat! Definitely a good way to use the color pallet! I love your embossed flowers with the sparkle in the center. :)

This is a very creative way to meet the challenge colors. The embossing is well done. Love this card very much.
