Color Dare #294 Big Thank You

It's time for another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge! It's the last Color Challenge in May and Tic-Tac-Toe is here again. You get to choose colors from a Tic-Tac-Toe board using the Close to My Heart color palette from the featured paper pack of this month "Beautiful Friendship." You MUST use and identify the three colors in a row of your choice; however we will allow any or all other colors from the Challenge Board to be included. I chose to use a diagonal of colors from the bottom left up to the top right, Bashful, Smoothie, and Canary.

My card came together quickly and easily thanks to one of our new Thin Cuts- A Big Thank You. To incorporate all of the challenge colors, I sponged a panel of White Daisy Cardstock with Bashful, Blossom, and Canary inks. I die cut the thank you image from Bashful Glitter Paper to add a bit of sparkle to the card without overwhelming the design, and backed it with my sponged piece.

The die cut panel is popped up off of the Smoothie mat using craft foam, and then adhered to a Bashful card base.

I sponged another panel for the inside of the card. To soften the sponged panel so a handwritten note could easily be read, I attached a piece of Vellum Paper with a Bashful glitter frame.

Ready to play? Just create a project using at least three colors in a row of your choice. You must identify the row you chose with your entry. You may also add any or all of the other colors from the Tic-Tac-Toe board, but please do not add extra colors. If you don't have the exact colors, use the closest colors you have. Our color challenges are open for two weeks, giving you more time and flexibility to create, share, and invite your crafty friends to join us too. You have until 10pm EST Thursday, June 8th to enter! I can't wait to see what you create!
