If you're new to us, please consider joining in. We encourage you to use Close To My Heart products, but if you don't have any, just come as close as you can.

Color Dare #35 - Sky, Blush, & Buttercup

Welcome to the Color Dare! Congrats to Hansi, winner of last week's Irish colors dare! Don't forget to grab your badge, Hansi!


This week's colors are primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) but tints, or pastels, of these colors:

Sky
Blush
Buttercup

I used a Buttercup patterned paper from Chantilly. You can visit my blog for more details about my card.

Lesson: Tints are what you get when white is added to a color. You get a lighter shade of that color. It is also called a pastel. Pastels are great for babies and Easter. We only have about a week until Easter, so it's time to get those baskets, cards, and scrapbook layouts made!

Here are some beautiful projects by our wonderful design team:

 

Lela Norris

 

Caroline Bredeson

 

Amie Kiger

 

Marie Flayer

 

Pam Korte

 

 

Becca Whitham

 

Now it's your turn! Create a project using the featured colors, post a picture of it on your blog, then link your blog post up here. Make sure to include a link to us in your post. Please read the complete rules on our sidebar. Have fun!
