Color Dare #130 - Silver & White Daisy

Welcome to Color Dare Challenges from Color My Heart.  Each Friday the design team announces a color palette for you to use to create your project.  You can create any type of project you'd like, as long as you use the chosen colors.  If you don't have the actual Close To My Heart colors, just use a similar substitute.



Color Dare #130 - Silver & White Daisy


This challenge was tough for me.  I love the combo and thought it would be easy to make a simple, elegant card.  But my first few attempts were boring!  I turned to my beloved embossing folders to amp up the texture.  I planned to use different embossed patterns on either side of the gate-fold, but I decided I liked the symmetry better (surprise, surprise!).  The "R" is custom for my dear friends who will receive this as an anniversary card.
How will this week's color combination inspire you?   Visit Color My Heart for more information about the challenge, get inspired by the design team, and upload your project.  I hope you'll join the Color Dare!
