Color Dare #376 ~ Winter Inspiration Board

January 10, 2020 by

Welcome to another week of Color Dare!  We have another great Inspiration Photo – WINTER. Pick colors that you see in the photo and BLACK and WHITE are free but NO other neutrals!

I love winter and all the colors that surround it! I fell in love with the new Technique Tuesday stamp set which is part of their Animal House series. I have a love of foxes (okay maybe an obsession) and this one captured my heart! Technique Tuesday offers a different animal based stamp set each month as part of their Animal House Stamp sets. Their first stamp set in this series was a fox which is why I signed up for the subscription and this month they released another fox!!!

I used the Spruced Up paper Pack with the burlap ribbon which has been retired. I also added a wooden element from the my stash. I used my Tri-blend markers to color the fox.

Now it is your turn to create! Just create a project (card, layout or other craft project) using this weeks colors.  Then link them to the Color My Heart Blog ~  Color Dare #376  or you can post them to the COLOR MY HEART FaceBook page.  For this Color Dare Challenge, you have until Thursday, January 23, 2020 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time to submit your project.   We love to see your inspirations.

Happy Crafting!

I decided to use all the colors to create this card.

I used two of the pattern papers from the Fresh Air paper pack for the card.  I used one of my Technique Tuesday Animal House stamp sets and coordinating die, Sammy the Squirrel for this card.  I colored the squirrel with one of my Copic markers E55 which is very close to the Toffee color and V99 for the Nutmeg to color his nose. I blended Copic YG97 with G28 for the New England Ivy color on the leaves and stems.  I colored the flowers with my Gold Shimmer brush and added a Gold Glitter Gem. You can see better here…

I used Pattern #16 from the Make it from Your Heart volume 4 for this card.  I also added the Glacier and gold ribbon from the Whimsy Ribbon Pack.

Color Dare #267

October 27, 2017 by

Welcome to this weeks Color My Heart Color Challenge!  This week for Color Dare #267 we are challenging you to use (All and Only) these three CTMH Colors: Saffron, Goldrush, Fern. And then use One, 2, 3 4, 5, 6 or 7 of the neutral colors (White, Charcoal, Pewter, Almond, Toffee, Nutmeg and Espresso); OR use all these colors from the “Falling For You” Paper Pack.”

With our challenges you have two weeks to participate which gives you more time and flexibility to create  – but please don’t wait for the closing date to submit your entry. Winners will be announced at the close of each challenge.

You may have noticed the new color palette layout. This was designed for better clarification of the colors. CTMH cardstock has the actual color on one side and the other side is a lighter variance of the same color.
This new palette photo will make it easier for comparison for matching colors if you don’t have CTMH Colors. Plus…the variance of the same color gives you a fair range for substituting similar colors so you can still join in all the fun.

I really love the Falling for You paper pack, so I jumped at the chance to play with it and my new Sammy the Squirrel.

I used my Shin Han markers to color him. I look forward to pairing him with this paper pack again.

Now it is your turn to create! Just create a project (card, layout or other craft project) using this weeks colors.  Then link them to the Color My Heart Blog ~ Color Dare #267 or you can post them to the COLOR MY HEART FaceBook page.  For this Color Dare Challenge, you have until Thursday November 9, 2017 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time to submit your project.   We love to see your inspirations.

July 21, 2017 by

Welcome to this weeks Color My Heart Color Challenge!  This week for Color Dare #253 we are challenging you to combine  Gold, White Daisy, Slate, Glacier, Willow, Tangerine & Poppy.

I have been wanting to play with June’s Technique Tuesday fish so I though this may be great for this color combination.
