A Card to Say Hello Color Dare 709
For this card, created for the Color Dare Challenge, using browns plus two additional colors
I combined current and retired products to create a layered, faux postage-stamp-inspired design.
I colored the lily image from the new Lily of the Valley Bundle with Lucky Limeade and Coastal Cabana markers, adding a pop of color against the neutral background.
Next, I paired it with stamp and postmark images from the retired Sending Love set and stamped them in Early Espresso to create an aged postal look.
I heat embossed the greeting from the retired Sending Smiles set with Wild Wasabi embossing powder from my stash, adding subtle texture.
To bring in even more detail, I used the crosshatch die from the Lily of the Valley Bundle as a stencil to create textured markings on the Crumb Cake insert.
Finally, I die-cut an opening in the Early Espresso card front with a Perennial Postage die to frame the focal image and complete the card.
I hope you’ll join in the fun!
