Color Dare #23 - Gypsy & Sky

Welcome back to Color My Heart. I am in sunny Alabama right now. There was a blizzard about to hit northern Wisconsin on the day we were supposed to leave for our vacation, so we decided to leave a day early. We missed the blizzard, but guess what. I didn't get my color dare project done! Oh well, not to worry, we have 2 guest designers this week!

First, congrats to Mary Thompson for winning last week's color dare with this cute card. I love the sparkly trees and embossed snowflakes!


This week's colors are tints of purple and blue:
Gypsy
Sky

Lesson: Tints are colors with a little white added to them. Often tints are called pastels. They are used to give a softer effect and are usually calming. The calming properties make them ideal to use in baby's rooms to help them sleep.

Our first guest designer is Marie Flayer. She made a lovely quilt card that looks like she put a lot of work into:

Our second guest designer is Linda Anderson. She made a cute friendship card - I love the gears embossing. (I sure wish CTMH would make embossing folders.)

Now it's your turn! Please read the sidebar for our challenge rules and remember, this dare will be open for two weeks. I will try to make a project when I get home. In the meantime, have lots of fun, and have a very merry Christmas!

Congrats to Linda Anderson, winner of last week's buttercup challenge. She got bonus points for using black and white as her neutrals. Isn't this a cute card?

Design Team Call

Hello Color Fans! I am looking for some help to keep up with the Color Dare and to create fabulous papercrafting projects for inspiration. Do you enjoy working with different color cominations? Do you have time to create one project a week? Are you interested in working with some wonderfully talented women? Then why not apply to be on our first 2013 design team?

All you need to do is send me your name, email address, blog address, and a bit about why you'd like to join the team. I would also love it if you'd include three of your best projects. Remember, we're a papercrafting blog. You can make ANY kinds of projects you like using paper and the Close to My Heart products.
You do NOT have to be a Close To My Heart consultant to apply, but you do have to love Close To My Heart products. It is not required that projects use 100% CTMH products, but they must contain some. As a member of our group, you'd be responsible for submitting one project a week, and for commenting on participant entries. You would also take turns taking over the posting when I am not able to post.

Alright! Are you excited? So am I!! I can't wait! You have until December 21st to apply. The new DT will be announced on January 4th.

Good luck!
