Color Dare 98


Color Dare #98
Perfect Plum
Always Artichoke
Neutral of Choice


Another fun colour combination by Riley this week. My neutral of choice was white (with a touch of black).  I combined this week's colours with the the last Verve sketch for February, which my blogging buddy Andrea created.  I am SO thankful she didn't create a sketch with a skewed panel LOL!  Two in a month is more than enough for me LOL!  The diagonal was a fun twist. 


I found this wonderful Basic Grey Kioshi paper that was a perfect fit for this week's colours.   I polka dotted the Plum panel and combined my scalloped square and Label 16 dies for the sentiment panel (love that Label 16 shape!).  A touch of black accents and was good to go :)  Nothing too elaborate this week as time was short, just a fun, quick card to make.

The rest of the Team has lots of inspiration for you.  You can check out their creations here:

We'd love you to join us!  Simply create a card using this week's colours and add your card to InLinkz on the The Colour Dare Blog.  If  you are uploading to a public gallery, please make sure to use the keyword CD98.   Each week, Riley will select a Featured Stamper and showcase your card on her blog.

    Fabulous...you make it look soo easy! What a find with those papers, too! Great sentiment and I adore how you stamped the sentiment over the muted stamped flowers. Just dee-lightful!

    So pretty, Marisa! I love the flowers stamped behind the sentiment. The Labels 16 has to be one of my faves, but it's still on my wish list! It looks wonderful matted with the scalloped square.

    I'm sure Andrea had your Skewed Panel Phobia in mind when she created this layout! LOL It looks terrific; I love purple.
