Color Dare #40

Welcome to another Color Dare! This week the colors are: Pumpkin Pie, Almost Amethyst and Soft Suede. As always, if you don't have these exact colors, use what you have that is close. Please be sure to link up your creation to the Color Dare blog to be in the running to be chosen as a guest DT member!

I won this image from 2 Red Bananas. He's called "Skater Jack". I wanted to do something different with this card because I felt like I was using embossing on EVERYTHING so this time, I didn't use any. It's pretty plain but I think the image is so cute it still makes for a nice card (at least I hope so anyway!) AND it's a rare boy-themed card. No embossing, no ribbon....that means I can use it for the Die Cuts R Us challenge this week which is to make a boy-themed card. And that bow in the corner...no it's not ribbon, it's a very boyish twine so I am using this for the Creative Belli Blog challenge which is to use twine or raffia on your card.

Color Dare #38

Great colors this week at the Color Dare! Are you ready for these ones: Crushed Curry, Taken with Teal, Melon Mambo and Basic Grey.

Hope you'll join in the Color Dare this week. If you don't have the SU colors listed above, use what you have that is close. Be sure to link your entry on the Color Dare blog for your chance to be chosen as a guest designer. Also, be sure to check out the blogs of the rest of the DT for some awesome inspiration.
