Color Dare #81 & Regina's 2S4Y Bonus Sketch


It's Wednesday and that means....WAIT!!  Before I get to the "real" reason for today's post I want to say "Happy Birthday!" to my littlest man who turns eleven today!  Eleven???  How did that happen?  He's requested a Chocolate Cake with Mint Cream Cheese frosting and Fettucine Alfredo for supper so that's what I'll be doing today when I get home from work and the gym.  :)

All-righty then - - - back to your regularly scheduled programming!  It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another Color Dare from Riley.  I really like this week's colors together: Sahara Sand, Rich Razzleberry and Peach Parfait.  When I first sat down to make my card, I wasn't sure what I was going to do.  I went through all of my stamps and NONE were jumping out at me.  I hadn't picked a sketch yet so I thought I'd see if that would give me a push in the right direction.  I hit the jackpot when I got to 2 Sketches 4 You!  Not only did they have their "regular" weekly sketch but they had two "bonus" sketches!  I fell in love with Regina's bonus sketch:


Once I had the layout in my head, I went back to my stamps and found a Stampin' Up! set I hadn't even put together...*hanging head*... and off I went:


Supplies - Stamps: Kind and Caring Thoughts, Well Scripted  Ink: Rich Razzleberry  Paper: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand, SU! DSP  Accessories: Paper piercer, Divine Swirls embossing folder, Peach Parfait twill ribbon

Thanks for stopping by today.  Make sure you stop and see what the rest of the Color Dare design team created with this fab combo - their links are to the left.  See you tomorrow with a brand new 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge!

Fantastic card, Melissa. I love the whole layout and especially like how the paper piercing is interupted by the word! Great card.
