Happy Halloween - Color Dare #315

My DT project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #315 was made using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #286.  When I saw this color grid my thought was Candy Corn so I chose the right-hand row of Nectarine, Lemon and Black.  Went to Cricut Design Space, die cut candy corn using nectarine, yellow and white, outlined the sections, cut a black shadow around candy corn and stamped on the face and sentiment.  Found another stampset to use for the small candy corn, stamped in Nectarine on white cardstock, colored the yellow, layered on black paper for shadow, fussy-cut the candy corn, placed as embellishment on the background design paper selected and then framed it on black cardstock before adding to card base.     

After posting my card in several challenges... decided to repair the eyes because they appeared spooky instead of sweet and cute. The first attempt was to pull off the spooky googly eyes, re-stamp and re-apply the eyes with liquid glass. 

 Not happy with double stamping or torn paper. Second attempt removed the original white cardstock off the candy corn layer, re-cut, stamped and applied liquid glass carefully using less.  Now Happy … this gave me my sweet and cute as in above card.  

We use CTMH color names for reference... however, don't be afraid to use any products as long as you match closest to the colors in the Board.  Choose your row, column or diagonal and if desired, other colors from the Board can be used.  New Guidelines on Neutrals: White, Cream, Black, Gray, Kraft and Brown(s) are free to use; however if they are included
in the challenge graphic they MUST be used in your creation.

This was a free Mother's Day file "Mom Heart Rose Card" from Mother's Day Cards 11.  I chose four of the colors from the "Live Beautifully" paper pack (Pixie, Juniper, Sea Glass and Lemon) and used white daisy and black as my neutrals.  The only modification I did on this was to cut an extra Mom to insert to bring in the yellow. There are a lot of free Mother's Day cards offered through Cricut now...join in the fun and you too may be able to combine your project in these three challenges.

Hello Coffee/Spring - CMH Color Dare Sapphire Winner

Well, what's better than to show off Springtime with Brushed Paperpak, and waking up in the morning and having a cup of coffee on the patio and a butterfly coming over to say "Hello" while checking out the daisies on the cup.  

The Daisy Coffee Cup is an image from Cricut Design Center "Kate's ABCs" which was colored with Shin-Han pen colors close to the colors listed in the Color Dare Challenge.  The Borders were made with Fundamental Paper Fundamentals, Cranberry.   Coffee Cup and Sentiment were raised with 3D Thin Foam Tape, and card distressed with Pixie Ink. The Sentiment was a free image on Design Center, and the label was from CTMH Art Philosophy, and the Butterfly an image from Serenade Cartridge.  Pulling in the last couple of embellishments just brought the card together.  The bow is from a collection of ribbons from my sewing room, and the smiley face in center of bow is an embellishment from CTMH "Chalk It Up Assortment", and black beads added to represent aroma and a hot cup of coffee.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #103:  Sketch above

Color My Heart Color Dare #137 for this week's challenge they combined a lot of colors, but they are all contained in the CTMH Brushed PaperPak   Cranberry, Hollyhock, Pixie, Canary, Pear, Juniper, Black and White Daisy. So it was an easy decision to use that PaperPak and also use the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #103 since I primarily use CTMH products for their challenges.   

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #249 - Welcome Spring (Must use 1 Cricut cut on project from Cricut catalog of images, and identify Cartridge).
