Color Dare #243 - Blossom, Lagoon, Raspberry, White Daisy and Black w/Optional Silver

Thank you to all the Talented Crafters who participated in last week’s Challenge. We are happy to have you sharing art in our Gallery. Inspiration of this color challenge comes from the color palette of the "Little Dreamer" Paper Pack. 

This Week we are challenging you to use (ALL and ONLY) CTMH Colors: Blossom, Lagoon, Raspberry, White Daisy and Black w/Opt Silver. Of course if you don’t have these CTMH colors you may substitute similar colors so you can still join in all the fun.

Here is some inspiration from our awesome Design Team. If you have a chance please stop by our blogs to see how we made these projects and leave a comment.

MAY "LIVE BEAUTIFULLY" - ALL MONTH SPECIAL CHALLENGE

The Color Dare Design Team is excited to invite you to an additional special challenge for the month of May!  Join us as we celebrate "Live Beautifully", Close to My Heart's special Paper Packet, in honor of National Scrapbooking Month. 

Featured Colors:  New England Ivy, Eggplant, Pixie, Lemon, Sea Glass, Juniper, Thistle, Whisper, White Daisy, Black and Optional: Gold.  

You will have an entire month to create with this special Paper Pack. Create cards, scrapbook layouts or home decor items "Anything Goes". Our usual challenge is to use "all and only" the featured colors, however, eight colors to combine are quite a challenge! So, for this challenge we are asking you to use at least 4 of the colors (excluding the neutrals) without adding new colors from the Live Beautifully palette as noted above.  (You may want to combine with one of your favorite sketch challenges.)

This "Live Beautifully" stamp set is also available in celebration of National Scrapbooking Month which you might want to use for this Color and Paper Pack challenge using the same rules as above.

Here is some inspiration from our fabulous Design Team:
