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 Glacier Cardstock, Desert Rose Cardstock, Sundance Cardstock and Lagoon Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. And can I just bring attention to the really beautiful new stamp pad designs. These are a rolling change so newer stamp sets should come with these new stickers which are SUBLIME! Anyway back to my card...

I decided to use Celebrating You Paper Packet which is brand new in the NEW Annual Catalogue, as so many of the colours are a match. I had leftovers from the gorgeous workshop packs Celebrating You Scrapbooking Workshop Kit that is the current special you can find that on my website under promotions tab with the title called "Workshop Wow - Celebrating You". I even used the thin cut that comes in that bundle in my card. 

The colours are gorgeous. I picked the balloon paper that I had leftover a 3.75x3.75 inches square. Then I put a 4x4 inch square of Desert Rose Cardstock. 

I found the template for the card in the Make It from Your Heart™ Volume 4 or Make It from Your Heart Volume 5 (I'm writing this away from my craft room so can't check which card pattern it is right now = I have all the MIFYH volumes!). 

I cut some Glacier circle quarters (see below)... Square Patterns Thin cuts and used this as a a little embellishment... like a sound shape... 

This kit is available through to 30th September 2022, while supplies last. Shipping assessed on full retail value of all items. GST included in all prices.

I cut some circles using Circles Thin Cuts with white daisy and some old retired Stitched Circle Thin Cuts in Sundance. I stamped in the Lagoon Ink on the white. 

The sentiment Congraulations came from the below stamp set Floral Sentiments

After I had photographed the card as it was evening I didn't notice that the backing of the balloon paper was more French Vanilla than White Daisy  so my sentiment and backing White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack look a bit stark against the creamier French vanilla colour. 

Finished it off with some Clear Sparkles.

Colour Dare #452 Candy Apple, Glacier & Lemonade

 

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #452 is Candy Apple, Glacier & Lemonade and you are free to use Black, White and silver. 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 #452 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, SplitCoast Stampers, or Instagram).

I started with an old retired sheet of printed Glacier cardstock that was printed with a coating to give it the subtle shapes. Its just cut 4 inchs x 5.25 inches. Then I cut a strip of red dots 4 inches x 3/4 inch from the Sweet Safari Cardmaking Workshop Kit.

Then I cut a butterfly from the Layered Butterflies Thin Cuts in Lemonade Cardstock. The circle Thin Cut was cut in White Daisy and stamped with Glacier Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad using the Congrats stamp from Sentiments by Melissa Esplin, as close to the "top" of the circle as would fit. 

Then I trimmed the circle down so it only peeked out. I put the red strip and the circle on before placing the butterfly and then I adhered the butterfly only by the body with 3-D Foam Tape.

To complete the look I used Bitty Sparkles to create a butterfly flight path. To ground the butterfly to the page and not have her floating off into nothingness. A simple but effective card. 

Note: We've had really overcast weather so my white is showing a bit pink. Trust me its white daisy cardstock on white daisy card and envelope.

So join in TODAY!!

I LOVE this You are Enough special for National Scrapbooking Month. The colours of the papers including Rose Gold are so stunning but hard to photograph. 

To make my card I pulled out the Make It from Your Heart Volume 5. The pattern called for 1.25 inch blocks in Sangria Cardstock so I added a slightly smaller block of the glacier and rose gold hexagon paper from the You Are Enough Product Bundle. 

Did the stamping in Black ink on white daisy cardstock and matted again on Sangria cardstock. Finished off the card with the stickers of the branches from the sticker sheet and to make them stick up a little I put Anti-static Pouch on half of the branch. The Congratulations stamp is an old retired stamp set and I used thin 3D foam tape to have a bit of dimension on the title.
