Our Colour Dare Challenge for #550 is a 6 pack of colours (You need to use 3 of the colours at least). Plus.... Black, white, neutral and metallics free to use. 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 #550 and add your entry. When you submit your entry you must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general. There are LOTS of ways to enter either a Blog Post or post to an online gallery (Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram etc), more details on the Colour Dare Blog post (see link above).

I chose Ballerina because I had this gorgeous Ballerina Marble paper in the Friendly Borders Cardmaking Workshop Kit (available for MAY 2023 only) and the paper is also available in the Dream Maker Product Bundle. This is only available for a limited time for National Scrapbooking Day. Until 30th June while stocks last. So if you love this paper as much as I do, please order it quickly to avoid disappointment.

I also chose Melon & Sage cardstock because the paper was on my desk :) How all good decisions are made... what's closest to hand gets chosen. 

After I had my chosen papers I thought lets create a card... I found the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge for this week and decided to create with my colours. I wanted the background to be the Ballerina Marble paper as its the prettiest.

To get my circle I cut the Happy Birthday Shaker Window Thin Cuts with Sage Cardstock (Darker side of the paper) then cut a white cardstock circle with Circles Thin Cuts. I adhered them together before I cut the circle edge off. 

To get the banner I cut a scrap of  Melon Cardstock and stamped on it in 
Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. I also cut out the Happy letters from my Slimline Alphabet thin cuts (only the 1,2,3s are available now the alphabet have retired... Slim Numbers Thin Cuts.) The letters were so thin I used my tiny adhesive Quickie Glue™ Pen. 

To finish it off I added 3 little Melon Flowers
