Color Dare #660

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #660 and combined it with the Sketch Saturday Challenge #779 and flipping sketch to portrait.  The blend of the Graphic colors is quite pretty; but not sure I got a perfect match with the pinks and oranges.  

I made some modification of the horizontal banner and replaced it with the dragonfly stitched trail, and the vertical banner was the same patterned paper as in the circle; placed and lined up with the the oval blossoms.  The dragonfly was cut using the pink patterned paper with another in pink cardstock for a shadow. The sentiment was added in the oval using black ink and on the inside added a strip of the orange patterned paper border with pink cardstock alongside the right-hand border of card base.

Merry Christmas - Color Dare #622 Triple Play

Here is my Design Team card for Color Dare #622 "Triple Play" wherein you must use all three colors, or closest match, and have combined it with Saturday Sketches #761.  

Other than the piecing this was a fairly easy card to create. A Periwinkle patterned paper was selected for the background and bordered using Journey cardstock. Went through my die stash to find something that would represent the three circles in the sketch... used a floral die with two poinsettias cutting several in different cardstock colors and one from a patterned paper. Played around with the positioning and cuts until satisfied with arrangement and colors. 

Before the first die cut was adhered to the background paper I cut a narrow piece of Journey cardstock and adhered to the back of the bar in the floral. This piece was then adhered to the background for piecing in the poinsettia leaves. The white layer of the die cut was then added over the first layer.  The third poinsettia was added from the same die cuts, positioned and adhered to the left.   

Sentiment was stamped on white cardstock, bordered with Journey cardstock and adhered at bottom direct to background with a little floral and leave cut off from the same die.  

I had lots of left-over die cuts and placed the one cut from the patterned paper on the inside corner of the card base.
