Color Dare #16 - Cranberry, Autumn Terracotta, Goldrush, & Honey

Hi! Welcome to the Close to My Heart Color Dare! Congrats to Joyce Lau for being the winner from last week:


The colors for this week are, as promised, more appropriate to Fall. I chose 4 analagous colors:
Cranberry
Autumn Terracotta
Goldrush
Honey

 

Lesson: Analagous colors are colors that sit next to each other on the color wheel. In this case, we have red, red-orange, orange, and orange-yellow.


I made pattern 12 from the new Make it From Your Heart book.

Now it's your turn! Please refer to the rules on the side bar to play along. Bonus points this week for using the Make it From Your Heart book! Happy creating!

Color Dare #15 - Lagoon, Pear, and Creme Brulee

Hi everybody! I'm so excited to be back doing the color dare again! I've been gone for over a month and it was way overdue. We are all settled into our new house and enjoying it. Thanks for bearing with me, and I apologize for the delay.

This week we are featuring Summer colors because I am trying to catch up on my scrapbooking from our summer vacation. Next week look for colors more appropriate to Autumn. This week's colors are:

Lagoon
Pear
Creme Brulee

Here is my summery layout, using Footloose:

This layout is completely level 2, using Dimensional Elements complements and no stamping. The pattern is Sweet Symphony from Imagine.

Now it's your turn. Check out the rules on the side bar and go create something fun. Link it up here, and I will pick a winner next week. I will give bonus points if you use a layout or card pattern from one of our how-to books. Enjoy!

Moving

Hi everybody. Please forgive me for not posting this in a timely manner. I didn't mean to leave you all in the lurch. I am moving next week, so, with packing and all, I will not be posting the color dare for a few weeks. Hopefully after 2 weeks I will be back and in full swing, but bear with me in the mean time. Thanks!

Color Dare #13 - Twilight, Sorbet, & Creme Brulee

I've got a question for everybody. Please respond in a comment with your opinion. What would you say if I opened up this color dare to everybody, not just those using CTMH products? I will still use current CTMH colors, but I will just say, "come as close as you can if you don't have the exact colors." Would that be a problem for anyone? Thanks for responding!

Congrats to the winner of last week's color dare: Romaine Rancier! I love Romaine's splatter effect and her pretty pins! She also got bonus points for attempting a one-layer card. Great job, Romaine!


Ruth's pick: Joyce Lau


Franny's pick: Lela N.


This week's colors are
Twilight
Sorbet
Creme Brulee

Lesson: Twilight, Sorbet and Creme Brulee are split complementary colors. They are shades of blue, red-orange, and yellow-orange. These colors look great with Saddle. Feel free to use your Clementine paper pack. You may also use any colors in our "basic" category.

Ruth made a beautiful layout using Clementine and the Make It From Your Heart book. She used Bingo and Trinity Alphabets, she made her own embellishments using the Clementine WOTG stamp set, and she used the exclusive 2012 convention stamp set (borrowed from me). Gorgeous!

Franny made a super cute card using Clementine.She hand stitched on the side and added Durables Studs. Adorable!

Here's the project of our guest designer from last week, Amie Kiger!

Aren't these teacher toolboxes adorable? You can find out more details on her blog.

Bonus Points: I made a card this week using the new Make it From your Heart how-to book. The artwork is GORGEOUS!!!!! I will give bonus points if you use a pattern from this book for your card or layout (bonus points are useful to me when choosing the winner, but not necessary).

Check out our side bar for complete rules and how to participate! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Color Dare #12 - Blush, Hollyhock, & Olive

Hi! Welcome to the Close to My Heart Color Dare!

Congrats to our Shades winner last week: Amie Kiger! Franny's choice is Julia Hammond! Ruth's choice is Brenda Frerichs!

This week's color dare is:
Blush
Hollyhock
Olive

Lesson: Hollyhock and Blush are tints (pastels) of red. Olive is a tone of green. Red and green are complimentary colors. You will see this combination often because it is pleasing to the eye.

I found a new challenge called Less is More. This week they want you to make a Clean and Simple card with only one layer! If you are making a card, I will give bonus points if you use this challenge! They also want you to use fur or feathers. I forgot that part, so I can't enter my card, but trying the one-layer card was interesting and challenging.

Franny made a matchbox using the Artiste cartridge, 4 my Friend stamp set, pearls and Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon. Her neutrals are Chocolate and Colonial White. Isn't it beautiful?

Ruth made a layout using Artiste and Art Philosophy. She used a layout pattern from the new Make It From Your Heart how-to book! Isn't it gorgeous?

Here is a real treat from our guest designer, the winner from last week, Amy McVey!!! Amy used a Mojo Monday sketch and Our new markers for this beautiful card. Stamps are Love Blooms and Card Chatter-Birthday.


Now create a project using the featured colors, take a picture of it, upload it to your blog, and link it up here. Bonus points for using 100% Close to My Heart products. Our complete list of rules are on the sidebar. Please read them! :) Happy stamping!
