Color Dare 76
Old Olive
Elegant Eggplant
Rose Red
Not Quite Navy
Welcome to this week's Color Dare. Riley came up with some lovely rich colours for us to use this week. I paired them with Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge as the stripes were a perfect way to layer the colours. I used VersaMark to stamp the flower image from the Background Basics set (SU), tied raffia on each of the horizontal panels in lieu of the stitching and found this fun little button in my stash to add on to the butterfly. Have never seen a button with six holes in it before and it reminded me of a butterfly body so I used it. I can see my Swiss Dots addiction has also resurfaced LOL!
The rest of this term's Color Dare team has lots of inspiration for you. You can check out their creations here:

ReplyDeleteThis is so crisp and clean - very nice. I like how you tied cord around each of the strips of colour.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this layout and the way you used it.. The swiss dots is perfect to give it some texture..Love the butterfly.. Still have not used mine..:(
ReplyDeleteWhat a great use of the colors--they work perfectly together here. Love that sentiment and the 6-hole button is so unique!

ReplyDeleteWhat bold, vibrant colors atop a gorgeous embossed background, Marisa! This card is so striking and just perfect for the challenge! Super duper work, as usual, my dear!
ReplyDeleteGreat, bright, happy colors, good use of the twine (little details mean so much), and I'm a sucker for an embossed element on a card, like your card base. Really pretty!
