My First Challenge

I decided to step out of my comfort zone this month and participate in two challenges,  Color My Heart Color Dare and Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge. Color Dare is a weekly color combination challenge using the CTMH color palette. Three Amigos is a month long challenge based on the featured CTMH paper pack or any color combination from that pack. Both challenges are anything goes as far as what you want to make, and both have prizes.

The colors for the Color Dare were Raspberry, White Daisy, Black, Emerald, Sea Glass and Silver.    Since these colors are also in the  Prickly Pear  paper pack, my card fulfills both challenges. I didn’t have a stamp set that had a "Miss You” sentiment, so I decided to try our July Stamp of the Month, Storybook Alphabet. I love the whimsical look of these letters!.

I used Versamark Ink and heat embossed the letters with White Embossing Powder.  I also dry embossed the black cardstock with the Simple Chevron Embossing Folder to give it texture. My inspiration was from Sunday Sketches SS007.  As you can tell, I made a few changes. I had a lot of fun and can't wait to do the next challenge!.
