Color Dare #88

It's been a while since I've been able to participate in a card challenge.  As I was working on cards for my April  card workshop, the idea for this card for the Color Dare challenge popped into mind.  It was inspired by Toni Hinchcliffe's entry in the CTMH April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop, Ballloon Talk.  The stamps were placed backwards on the blocks to achieve the color blocking.   The word "Hi!" and the flowers are from CTMH retired stamp sets.  Thanks, Toni, for the color blocking idea.  This was fun.

 March Scrapbook Workshop Layouts

Skylark Paper Pack 

This is the workshop I offered in March.  Due to some technical difficulties I was having 

last month, I wasn't able to post this before the workshop.

The flowers on this layout are made using the Art Philosophy Cartridge.
Washi tape and Aqua Dots were also used to add detail.

The flowers on this layout are made from 1" circles of B&T paper which were folded 

to a cone shape at the bottom.

Friday Mash Up Challenge 

Well, here's another card that came together rather quickly using the sketch from Friday Mash Up.   I used paper from the new CTMH Lollydoodle paper pack.

The stamp set is from the CTMH Artiste collection and the sponged hearts are from the Art Philosphy cartridge.   I used the larger of the two hearts to sponge the background hearts on white cardstock.  The colors are Cotton Candy and Slate.  Cotton Candy polka dot washi tape was also used.

Here's the sketch I used.

Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch #39

I've been looking through my cards and realized that I could use more cards that might be appropriate for those who aren't the floral or fancy-fussy card type.  So I played with the colors suggested in this week's Color My Heart Color Dare#77 and the sketch for the Atlantic Hearts Challenge #39.  Several colors would not have been the choices I would have put together, but I do like they way they look here.  (CTMH colors: Smokey Plum, Cranberry,  Sunset, Honey,  Juniper)   I was too late to post to the Color Dare Challenge, but I enjoyed playing with the colors.
I will be offering this as a card to make at my February 11 card workshop.
