Colour Dare #390 choose three colours or more

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #390 is using these lovely colours at least 3 or more of the colours. Black, White and all neutrals are free to use. You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #390 and add your entry. 

I chose Peacock (my absolute favourite colour), with Peach and Glacier (light side). 

I used the Mix-in Paper Packet X9013 for the pretty decorative blue paper

with Peach Cardstock, Peach Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and 

Peacock Cardstock. 

I used regular Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad

but I didn't wait long enough for it to dry before I used the pens so the black ran a little. I should have used archival black ink or Intense Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad or Archival Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. 

I random stamped the diamond stamps on the peach light side with peach ink using the Unicorn Dreams Stamp + Thin Cuts. 

Then I stamped the cute unicorn face and coloured it. I put the peach ink edged around the white and peach squares to have it stand out and the peacock ink around the edges of the peacock cardstock. I did a little pennant banner to finish off. I did put 3D foam tape under the unicorn to have him stand out. The Jade Green TriBlend™ Marker was the closest to the peacock and the Pale Pink TriBlend™ Marker for the ears and cheeks 

Cardstock is on sale, So use the random stamping technique to make fun designs with your cardstock.... This is the perfect time to sort your stash and work out which colours you are running short of. Then you can do the multi-packs or combo-packs or single colour packs. 

Thanks so much for dropping by to check out my latest project. Hope you can join in the Colour My Heart Color Dare Challenge #390 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.
