I LUV SCRAPPING TOO Retirement has created a challenge addict, which takes up a fair amount of my time. Thanks to innovative and creative ideas from many Design Teams, my CTMH daughter, and my friends. Challenges give me a jump-start on many of my cards and turns on my creativity to come up with my own unique designs.

Happy Easter - ColorMyHeart Color Dare #538
This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #538 "Four Square". You only need to select three of the colors and all neutrals and metalics are Free. These colors reminded me of Easter and I chose Sage, Periwinkle and Melon and die cut a stitched quilt background in each of the three colors so I could create three backgrounds for my Easter Gnomes.
I stamped the Easter Gnomes with Black Mememto Ink and colored with Copic Sketch pens using a variety of colors to create the closest match to Sage, Periwinkle and Melon, plus grey and brown neutrals. I'm one to usually use foam tape for dimension; but the quilted look gave enough texture and dimension. Each Gnome was adhered directly on the background and the sentiments also stamped directly on background.

Happy Birthday - Color Dare Color Board #532
This is my Design Team card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #532 using "purples and blues + 1 additional color choice (pink)". My intent was to make the blending look like the blue and purple image in the Board... BUT it didn't come close. Another BUT... I spent a lot of time on the blending and need a card for this challenge.
