Color Dare #154 – Smokey Plum + 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 (and ONLY the chosen colors!).  If you don't have the actual Close To My Heart colors, just use a similar substitute.

Color Dare #154 – Smokey Plum + White Daisy

• I started by attaching a Smokey Plum cardstock (1291) panel to the front of a White Daisy (1385) card.
• I embossed two pieces of White Daisy cardstock with the Chevron Embossing Folder (Z1925), another with the Dots Embossing Folder (Z1924), and attached all three to the front of the card.
• I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Everything (D1653) stamp set using second generation Smokey Plum ink (Z2147) onto White Daisy (1385) cardstock and attached it to the front of the card.
• I punched out varying sizes of circles from White Daisy (1385) and Smokey Plum cardstock (1291).  On the white ones, I punched images from A Bunch of Thanks (C1603) stamp set in Smokey Plum ink (Z2147).  I attached them to the card both flat and with 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151).

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!
