Is Nature's Way of Making Up For Mondays - Color Dare #261

DAY 1 AM - 2017 FALL COFFEE LOVERS BLOGHOP


What better way then to start off the Coffee Lovers Fall Bloghop with Brentwood...love that guy.  This is a freebie image from last year; but there is a new freebie out for this Fall's Bloghop at Jessica Lynn Originals "Brentwood Owl" - Barista Coffee"...please stop by to get your image and join in the fun.  



The color challenge was perfect for Brentwood, and he felt so good among the cattail, early morning rise with his coffee cup in hand and a sweet hello to everyone.  Started with the background using an embossing folder of cattails, cut the brown border with a collage die and layered underneath to bring in another color.  Brentwood was already in my stash so just had to color him using copic alcohol-based pens to create the colors nearest to the challenge.  Cut the cattail, layered and placed on background with 3D thin foam tape, and added Brentwood.  


Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #261: We are challenging you to using CTMH (All and Only) Colors: Nutmeg, Toffee, Almond, White Daisy and pick your own Yellow.  If you don’t have these CTMH colors you may substitute similar colors. Hop on by and see the many inspirational cards by our DT and other entrants.  


Our Weekly Color Dare Challenges are open for two weeks, so if you have not yet created and entered your project for Color Dare #260, click HERE or click on the sidebar at the top of our blog. 
Cut a second collage die in the canary and added to the inside of the card.
