Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge post.  The Close to My Heart colors we are featuring this week are pictured here:

These are the only 5 colors allowed for the challenge although if you do not have these exact CTMH colors you may substitute similar colors.

My card features a new stamp set found in the Seasonal Expressions catalog called "A Bunch of Thanks".  I used Freshly Made Sketch #42 as my card layout.

Close to My Heart products used:

     Kraft CS

     Cranberry CS

     Black CS

     White Daisy CS

     Flaxen CS

      Cranberry Ink

      Flaxen Ink

      Bunch of Thanks stamp set

This was my first card which I forgot to include black:

I really like how the black makes the focal panel "pop"!

Now it's your turn to create with these 5 colors.  We look forward to seeing what you create. Please use a direct link to share your creations with us here.

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

Color Dare #108--Flaxen, Sorbet and Lagoon

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge post!  (You may substitute similar colors if you don't have CTMH products yet and combine them with neutrals such as black, white, colonial white, greys and tans). This week we are inviting you to combine all three of the following Close To My Heart colors:  Flaxen, Sorbet and Lagoon.

Flaxen is a brand new CTMH color. It was not one of my favorite of the 5 new colors but after working with it for this challenge I must admit that it has grown on me.  I also got to use two new stamp sets to make this card. 

Close To My Heart products used:

     Your Own Kind of Wonderful Stamp Set

     Happy Hexagons (Hostess Reward Choice)

     Flaxen CS

     Flaxen Ink

     Lagoon Ink

     Lagoon CS

     Sorbet CS

     Sorbet Ink

     Black CS

     Dots Embossing Folder
