Our Colour Dare Challenge for #434 is a choose at least 3 of the colours Challenge.

So join in TODAY!!

I chose Lagoon, Grape & Wisteria with silver accents, black and white. 

I started with a thin strip of White Daisy Cardstock and swiped peacock feathers Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad I did it in a rough way to add textural element. Then I dropped some water and Clear Shimmer Brush to create some water droplets with shimmer. 

I matted the strip with Grape Cardstock (on sale for March) and added to the White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack

I stamped the dragonfly with Wisteria Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad from the Winged Masterpiece—March Stamp of the Month and fussy cut it out. I folded the wings up and put 3D foam tape. This is a lovely stamp set. Only available for March 2021, so hurry to order. VIP's can get this free with an $80 AUD order or anyone can purchase for $9 with an $80 AUD order or full price $34 AUD. (If you're not in Australia talk to your consultant/Maker about the prices in your area).

I stamped the wishing you the happiest of Birthdays in Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad on the bottom of the card base (I was rushing after a delay when a bee stung my nose - so apologies that its a little rough). Finished off with some Silver Glitter Gems.

Follow the links, check out all the amazing ideas and eventually you'll come right back here to where you started.

We are all creating with the Workshops Your Way® Dreamin' Big Scrapbooking KitThis kit is featured by Close to My Heart in March and is available until the end of the current Seasonal Expressions Ideas Book.

Workshops Your Way® Dreamin' Big Scrapbooking Kit

1 – Dreamin' Big Sequins (Z3315)
1 – Whisper Thick Twine (Z3095)

As part of the instructions for the Dreamin Big Workshop Your Way pack are cards. I cut out and made all the pages and cards as shown in the Instructions which you can find on my website with the Workshops Your Way® Dreamin' Big Scrapbooking Kit

The cards use the Dreamin’ Big Cardmaking Thin Cuts BundleThis is an awesome bundle to purchase this month because Close to My Heart are having a sale on Thin Cuts and Thin Cut Bundles. They are 25% off this month only. Usually $36.50 and this month only $27.38.
To start with I cut a sheet of 12" × 12" White Daisy Cardstock into two pieces 4x6 size and then cutout ALL the below shapes with the thin cut and my Big Shot . 

I pulled out all the featured colours that coordinate with Dreamin Big (as shown on the back of the Zip Strips). Featured Colours: Black, Glacier, Goldrush, Juniper, Poppy, Saffron, Slate, Sorbet, Whisper & White Daisy.  


I stamped a few of the colours... as shown above to make up the cards as per the instructions (or close to the instructions). 

Then as my most favourite thing to do I modified the cards by turning over the paper and changing up the sentiments and thin cut shapes. 

The adhesives I used on my Duck® Easy Stick™ AdhesiveTombow® Permanent Adhesive and for that extra lift 3-D Foam Tape!!
