Our Colour Dare Challenge for #520 is a Tic-Tac-Toe board, with Neutrals free to use. You need to pick the colours in a row or column or diagonal. When you are creating for more than one challenge please make sure your project meets our requirement. Most importantly - have fun!  Go to the link for Colour Dare #520 and add your entry. When you submit your entry you must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general.

This colour dare is designed around Christmas Story Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet

I decided to do the Diagonal Harbour, Silver & Scarlet. I had the new Freshly Baked—Scrapbooking Stamp + Thin Cuts and I really wanted to use the silver to create a baking wire cooling rack. I pulled out some of the retired Silver Foil paper and a scrap bit of it. I ran that thru my big shot and then stuck it on the Scarlet Cardstock. I ended up cutting it on the diagonal and sticking it on an angle onto the top of my card. (cutting this thru a trimmer was a tricky thing... it messed up a bit and I ended up cutting it smaller than originally intended. If you are going to cut this be careful and maybe cut from the back).

I used normal adhesive to stick the silver foil rack onto the Scarlet Cardstock but I ended up getting adhesive on the front but I figured it looked more realistic to how my own personal baking rack looks with all the cake stuck to it. 

As you can see from the picture of the Freshly Baked—Scrapbooking Stamp + Thin Cuts there are the cutest little cookies and an icing bag. I cut a few of the cookies and the piping back with White Daisy Cardstock and stamped them with Harbour Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad.

I ended up not using the cookies that I die-cut and stamped... I used the cookie heart stickers from the Freshly Baked Paper Packet Sticker Sheet. BUT... I did use the icing bag. From this stamp set I also used the stamp sentiment of the Cute Cookie but I only stamped on the cute cookie and masked off the one. I stamped that with Harbour ink directly onto the White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack card directly. 

I finished off the card with a white 1 shape from Cricut to make the sentiment 1 cute cookie. Then I put the sticker cookies around the 1 and I embellished with the cute new Freshly Baked Dots... I think calling them dots is a bit misleading because they're the cutest stars, hearts and dots (this is the new way that dots are coming in the Annual catalogue.

I was happy with how it finished off with those cute little hearts and dots in the Scarlet colour. I hope you like it too. I thought it would make a cute 1st birthday card.
