Color Dare #133 - Smoothie, Honey, Flaxen, Crystal Blue, Gypsy, Black & Colonial White

Hi! Welcome back to the Color Dare. I hope you all had a great week. My kids have been on Spring break this week. The weather has been nice, but we only got to go out one day. We've been spring cleaning, then we all got sick! So sorry this post is late. LOL!

Today I have a challenge for you with colors from our Wanderful Paper Packet.

Smoothie
Honey
Flaxen
Crystal Blue
Gypsy
Black
Colonial White


I realize this is a lot of colors, so don't try to give each color full prominence on your project. Choose a couple of main colors, then use the others for small accents. Some of our design team members have given you an idea of how to use these colors without having the paper pack. Use your creativity. I can't wait to see what you come up with!





Now it's your turn!  Create something using these colors. If you don't have the exact colors, use the closest you have. Take a photo of your project, post it to your blog and link it up with us here. Please include our link and challenge photo in your blog post and use a direct link to link up with us (not your blog in general.)  Most importantly, have fun!  You can read our complete rules on our sidebar.
