Color Dare #77 & 2 Sketches 4 You


Welcome back for another fabulous Color Dare!  Riley has combined four fabulous colors this week - a little bit of the old and a bit of the new:  Tempting Turquoise, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Not Quite Navy.  Have I told you all how much I enjoy the Poppy Parade?  It is such a pretty shade of red...

I clicked over to 2 Sketches 4 You to see what the girls had for us this week - it's been a LONG time since I've played with Laura and Kazan's sketches.  This week's sketch has such a CAS feel to it so I thought I'd give it a try... I'm *so* trying to embrace the idea of CAS:
I couldn't decide if the sketch was more rectangle or square so I made the *executive* decision to make a square card:


Recipe - Stamp: Small Script (SU!)  Paper: Whisper White, Not Quite Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, Poppy Parade  Ink: Not Quite Navy  Accessories: Paper piercer, twine, eyelet, Modern Label punch, adhesive pearls, Elegant Bouquet embossing folder (SU!)

I hope you will take a few minutes to stop and see what the rest of the Color Dare design team (their links are to the left) has created with these colors and then give it a try yourself!  Don't forget to link back so we can come and see what yumminess you come up with!

Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday - see you tomorrow for a new 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge!

I ADORE all those little colored pearls. What a clean and simple way to bring in these tough colors. Beautiful work!
