Color Dare #247 - Whisper, Pomegranate, Fern, Slate, White Daisy, Black and Optional Silver

Thank you to all the Talented Crafters who participated in last month’s Challenges. We are happy to have you sharing art in our Gallery. For the month of June Inspiration of color challenges come from the color palette of "No Worries" Paper Pack.  

This week we are challenging you to use (ALL and ONLY) CTMH Colors:  Whisper, Pomegranate, Fern, Slate, White Daisy and Black w/Optional 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. 

Before you run off to find out how our Designers made their projects or take out your crafting supplies to get started, I have some exciting news to share with you!  We are ready to add some new Designers to our Color Dare challenge blog! Is this something that appeals to you?

Would you be excited about:

    -- Using Close to My Heart products in creating on a regular basis?

    -- Creating one project and posting it to your blog every other week (twice a month)?

    -- Commenting on assigned entry #'s on weeks you submit a project? (Fellow DT members also appreciate comments)

    -- Voting for favorite entries every week?

    -- Becoming part of our Color Dare DT Facebook group where we plan and communicate with each other?  

    -- Donating an occasional "prize" for our monthly prize winners? 

NO PREVIOUS DESIGN TEAM EXPERIENCE REQUIRED!

If you can say "yes" to all the above then we would love to hear from you.  We are asking for a six month commitment to run from July 2017 to December 2017 which may be extended if you wish to stay longer.

To apply--write DT after your challenge entry AND email Marie (AKA NJ Stamping Queen) at mflayer at comcast dot net.  Applications will close at the end of Color Dare challenge #248 or on June 22, 2017.

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.

Color Dare #245 "Little Dreamer" Paper Pack or Choose 4 of the Colors and Neutrals

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 the color palette from the "Little Dreamer" paper pack. 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 Little Dreamer palette: Blossom, Glacier, Lagoon, Lemon, Tangerine, Thistle with White Daisy and Black. Of course if you don’t have these CTMH colors yet 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.
