You're the Best - Color Dare #672

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #672 wherein you have to use both colors and no additional colors; however you can use free, black and white, neutrals an gold metallic. Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #649 was combined with the color graphic. 



Looked through my stash for patterned papers in sapphire, brown and vanilla shades and cut in 1/2" strips. Made a Vanilla strip 3/4" and adhered diagonally on a 4" x 5 1/4" panel, randomly placed 1/2" strips from the vanilla strip around the perimeter. Cut off the overlap of 1/2" strips, bordered the panel using Sapphire cardstock and adhered to a vanilla cardbase.  

For the focal point I used a stitched rectangle and cut florals in a vase, two in sapphire and two in vanilla, added a small cut of each color and placed opposite color behind dots of each vase between layers.  The floral vases were adhered to stitched rectangle using glue and some 3D thin foam tape.  

Please hop on over and join us at Color Dare's Color Board #672 and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

If you like to combine additional Challenges... consider hopping over to either Double Trouble "3-2-1 Recipe" and/or our sister challenge Try a Sketch on Tuesday and see how easy it might be to combine one or both challenges with Color Dare.

How lovely, Suzanne! The little die-cut florals add a very nice focal point, and their simplicity marries nicely with the busier background treatment. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us at AHSC this week. Cheers, Jolanda - DT

Great background, Sue! This reminds me of making Log Cabin quilts before I started card making. Your focal image is fabulous. Great use of the colors, too.
