Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #195

I love the cool color palette of this week's color challenge:



I'm always in need of good birthday cards, and the May Stamp Of The Month, Celebrate With Cake was perfect! I colored the images with ShinHan and Copic markers, added a Purple Shimmer Trim and Aqua Dots. The Pear background paper is from Penelope Paper Packet. The sentiment was stamped with Lagoon Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. To add more blues, I colored the background with a hint of blue CTMH Watercolor Paints. I added some Aqua Dots at the top part of the card.

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #194

We are featuring the blue palette this week at Color My Heart Color Dare!



I decided to play with my Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge, especially since Father's Day is around the corner. The sentiment is from Just To Say Cricut Collection stamp set from Artfully Sent. The background stripe paper is from La Vie En Rose, and I cut the card and other elements using Pacifica and Crystal Blue Cardstock. I added just a hint of bling with the white gems from the Grey Enamel Gems pack. I kept the card simple and masculine. :-)

Happy Times Flip Book

May is National Scrapbooking Month, and this month's promotion at Close To My Heart features the Happy Times paper packet. There are many types of flip books, and I decided to make one using two pieces of 6"x12" paper from the Happy Times Paper pack.

We are also using the same color palette for this week's challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare:



I embellished the flip book with Beautiful You Picture My Life Scrapbooking Program, some Gold Polka-Dot washi tape (retired), Calypso Sequins, Glacier Extra Thick Twine, Sequins Gold Assortment, and Gold Foil Tape. The other embellishments that were used were: Heidi Swapp Project Life pocket cards, Heidi Swapp Stickers, Reset Girl Stickers, The Paper Studio washi tape and Recollections Pink, Mint and Gold washi tape.



Our challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare runs until Thursday, at 9:00 pm Eastern Time, so do join us! I would also like to enter my flip book to the following challenges:

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #192

It's hard to believe that it's already May and summer is just around the corner! I'm still holding on to the idea of spring in my card even though it was a hundred degrees yesterday. lol!

Here are this week's color challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare:



All the stamped images in this card are from the Woodland Romance stamp set (retired). I used White Daisy on Glacier Cardstock for the sentiment. The flowers, leaves and heart were stamped in Fern, Canary and Cotton Candy. I cut the deer's head from the Artistry Cricut Cartridge using gold paper at 2 1/2". I could not resist but add some Sequins Gold Assortment for a "confetti" look at the top of the deer's head. Just because. :-D
