Color My Heart Color Dare #418

Good morning all!

I’m here today with another challenge from Color My Heart Color Dare and I loved making this card!

Here is the colour prompt for Challenge #418:

We reference Close To My Heart colours but you can use any brand as long as you make a very close match. Remember not to use any other colours except those listed! 

I have been wanting to try my hand at a floating frame for a while so I took the opportunity to use the colour prompt to make a floral frame.

I have used Raspberry, Flamingo, Lagoon and Peacock colours to layer up my Altenew Dahlia Blossoms stamps. 

Firstly I stamped my sentiment directly onto the card front. I then stamped the flowers and leaves after which I fussy cut them. Using a temporary glue, I arranged them onto a rectangle of acetate. I ran this through my die cutting machine to cut a smaller rectangle from the centre and create a frame. I then (lovingly!) peeled them off the acetate and stuck them to my card front using foam pads. Really I should have stopped here but I wanted to add back the off cuts to further frame the sentiment so I stuck these directly to the card front, i.e. they sit lower than the frame. 

This was quite a lengthy process but I enjoyed it and I will try this type of card again. 

Hopefully you are inspired by the colour prompt or by my card to come join us at Color My Heart Color Dare but if not, then please pop over to the blog to see the other team members brilliant projects. 

Thanks for visiting!
