Color Dare #61 - Olive, Autumn Terracotta, & Goldrush

This week's challenge is perfect for the beginning of autumn, my favorite season!

• First off, I stamped a swirl stamp from the new Swirls Around stamp set multiple times in Autumn Terracotta onto a Goldrush panel.
• I used the new scallop border punch, which I LOVE!  They did a nice job designing this punch.  It's easy to determine where to position the previously punched section to continue the design.
• The grey panel came from the Huntington Paper Pack, and the zip strip from Sarita.  
• The flower stamp, inked in both Goldrush and Olive, is from the lovely Happy Autumn set, and the butterfly is from the Cricut Artbooking cartridge. 
• I didn't have any Autumn Terracotta cardstock, so I created my own square by inking a piece of Colonial White cardstock.  I looks like suede!
• I rarely find a card finished until it has some bling, so I added a button from the Rosewood Mini-Medley collection.  

I hope my card inspires to create your own Color Dare creation!  See more at:  http://colormyheartcolordare.blogspot.com/

As the title of this mini-album promises, it has six pockets to fill with tags, photos and mementos.  Two "hidden" pockets within the front and back covers, as well as four layered pockets within the interior layout.

Color Dare #59 - Slate, Whisper, & ...

Twilight!

This week's challenge was to choose an accent color to combine with the neutrals Slate & Whisper.  I love this chevron print from the Frosted paper pack.  It pairs Twilight with the two greys, thus fitting my criteria perfectly!  

I used several different stamp sets to create this page for my Designed Décor Flip Stand Album.  The Viewmaster slide is from Reel Life, the hexagons from Honeycomb.  These images were all stamped with Slate ink.  The film strip, stamped in Black on the Twilight square, is from the Take Note Cricut set.  The smile, camera, and film strip cut outs are all from the Artbooking Cricut cartridge.  I added a piece of Slate Polka Dot ribbon and Color Ready Seam Binding ribbon to each of the rings.  And, of course, I had to add some bling with Stardust Glitter Gel and accents from the Rosewood collection.  As soon as I find some tiny pictures to fit in the frames, I will be good to go!  :)
