Colour Dare #546 Tic-Tac-Toe Cosette

 

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #546 is a Tic-Tac-Toe board using the Cosette Colours (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 #546 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'm loving Cosette. The colours are really pretty. I used them ALL I couldn't choose just one row or column. 

Check out the Close To My Heart YouTube video about Cosette HERE.

I made the cards when we were given for our CTMH Launch event and we were given cutting guides for 2 cards each. So I cut both but didn't want to make the cards the same so I flipped most of the paper and varied the cards. 

I really love the Cosette—Cardmaking Stamp + Thin Cuts because they have thin cut shapes for the flowers plus the archway and oval. The archway and oval are perfect for card fronts but would also make great spaces on scrapbook pages. 

We coloured with Antique Pink TriBlend™ Marker, Dull Green TriBlend™ Marker, 

Gold Yellow TriBlend™ Marker, Ice Grey TriBlend™ Marker. Then we used Mulberry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and Toffee Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and used a sponge for edges and background and water brush. 

Some of the flowers were stamped on the die cuts and some where stamped directly on the ovals or arches. 

Lots of splatter with the waterbrush. We also inked the edges of the Cosette Die-cuts (the butterfly, banner and hearts etc).

Colour Dare #402 Monochromatic Blues

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #402 is Blue Monochromatic. Black, White, Silver and Neutrals are free to use. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #402 and add your entry. 

The card I made was for our Scout Leader who has done so much for our Scout Group during the lock-down stages within Western Australia. When we went back to Face-to-Face Scouting our Support Committee suggested a card to show our appreciation and our Scout Group Leader (my husband) commissioned me to make one... and by commissioned I mean "asked nicely for me to voluntarily make a card for no reimbursement". I was most happy to add my card making skills to gift this leader who has worked so hard for our youth. 

I used the Aurora Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet plus the Aurora Cardmaking Kit (since sold out) with the banner and world thin cuts cut with Glacier Cardstock, Peacock Cardstock and White Daisy Cardstock. 

To adhere the globe to the circle thin cut, I used Dual-tip Permanent Glue Pen and then the rest I used either Tombow® Permanent Adhesive with some height mixture of 3-D Foam Tape & Thin 3-D Foam Tape.

The Title "You're the Best" is from June's Stamp of the Month and the "You Mean the World to me" stamp was from the Aurora Cardmaking stamp set. I masked the "me" off and used an alphabet stamp to add the word "US" to the end as it came from the group so I needed it to say "You mean the world to us!". I added the blue and peacock paper from the  Aurora Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet and then added some white Shimmer trim (this is retired but you can still get silver Shimmer Trim which would have also worked on this card). I cut the white shimmer trim in half with my Aluminum Cut Rail Paper Trimmer. To cut shimmer trim I acutally stuck it to the trimmer and then peeled it off again. You can see I didn't cut perfectly in half so I put the larger half on the bottom and the smaller half on the top to show the weighting. 

All stuck onto a White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack card. 

Thanks so much for dropping by to check out my latest project. Hope you can join in the Colour My Heart Color Dare Challenge #402 too. I'm really interested to hear what you think about my card, so I'd love you to leave a comment. See you again soon. If you don't have a Close to My Heart Consultant (and you're in Australia) feel free to contact me either on this blog or via my website HERE.

I love the paper in this set, lots of it is black and white in it, so it makes such a classic easy card. There aren't many papers that are Halloween themed so its easy to change up the papers to use for various other things. I stuck with simple and elegant in this couple of cards. I don't think the photos do justice to how classy they look in person (if I do say so myself). 

The card below has a the black and white stripes and some Lagoon Ink for the Thankful Title from the Thanks & Giving—October Stamp of the Month.The little black heart is from this set too. A simple easy card that was quick and effective for all the many thank you cards I tend to make and use. 

October Stamp of the Month - Thanks & Giving

I really love the below card because the mix of the dots and diamond shapes looks like a mans shirt, so I'm glad to have made a more masculine card. The "pocket" shape (rounded triangle shape) was a cricut cut from our Close to My Heart Cricut Cartridges, I had in my scrap white daisy cardstock pre-cut from previously. I went around it with journalling pen and stamped the "You're the best" from the My Type of Note stamp set in black ink and put up with 3D foam tape. 

Please note: I made a couple more cards out of this paper suite but will be showcasing them over the next few blog posts.
