I’m an official member of the Color My Heart Color Dare Design Team! I’m super excited to start with Color Dare #200 which features Ruby, Colonial White and Sapphire and finds the Color Dare celebrating it’s fourth year! What’s a celebration without prizes? Read on to find out how you can win!
My card is an adaption from an sketch I had pinned from Freshly Made Sketches. I reduced my card to 4.25 X 4.25 which is one of my favorite sizes to work with. I took a Colonial White card base and added squares of Ruby Paper Fundamentals and a Sapphire Paper Fundamental Star cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge. The sentiment is from a retired Close to My Heart constant campaign. You can barely see it in the photo, but there is a piece of red shimmer trim under the pennant to give it a little added dimension. The swirl sparkle is also retired, but I felt it gave the impression of fireworks dancing in the sky.
Now about those prizes:
- Our Diamond Award Winner will select a future color dare.
- Anyone who comments on ALL the Design Team entries – this week will be put into a random draw for a pack of paper – winners choice. (Even if she is not able to post a project this week). For each 10 people who comment on all DT entries there will be one prize given. If we have 20 people comment on all entries then we will have 2 prizes, etc.
Make sure you stop by the Color Dare – you’ll find the links to all the Design Team Members Blogs so you can leave your comments and make sure to get your entry posted prior to next Thursday, June 7th to be eligible for the grand prize!
The crystal fireworks is such a nice addition! Wonderful card, Tracey!
I tried to make a comment, it didn’t post. Love your card, especially how the sparkles resemble fireworks
Love the cards and welcome to the DT!!!
Great card Tracey! Which set is that sentiment from? I’m sure I must have it…lol….but it isn’t familiar to me…. Anyway…thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Lisa its from a CC a couple years ago. The name slips my mind.
Great Card…I love the sentiment too!
Thanks!
Great use of the Fundamentals paper. I would have never thought of that. Beautiful!
Thanks Karen, never underestimate the power of fundamental papers!

What a cute and simple card. I love the gems.
My gems are coming to an end 😦 the flourishes retired a few catalogs ago.

It’s a really pretty card. Simple, but to the point. Such great color combo and I love the bling.

I really like this card, the swirl sparkle definitely looks like fireworks and I look forward to seeing future posts from you.

I love your card, especially the bling. I was just given an assortment of multi sized envelopes so now I am challenged, in a good way, to create many different sized cards! Have a wonderful 4th
Can’t wait to see your creations! Hope you’ll stop by the Color Dare and take a challenge or two!
Beautiful card. Especially how you used the bling.
Thank you Bonnie…”a little bling never hurt anything!”
I love the layout of this card. The sparkle flourish really makes this card pop. Beautiful.
Thank you Anne…I hope you’ll take the challenge at the Color Dare this week and play along 🙂
Beautiful card! I love the fundamentals with the sapphire star showing the white side vs the ruby being tone on tone.
Thanks Cat…this was a super fun card to play with.
Congrats on making the team! Love the card.
I’m pretty excited to be here…I love the creativity that just having a color palette to play with leaves the rest to the imagination!

Love your card! Those flourishes just add a nice touch!
Thank you!
What a sweet little card! I wonder if you make your own envelopes for this size..
There are so many options…I have a stash of envelopes that are in this size, I own an envelope punch board to make my own or they will fit in a standard envelope. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my blog…I hope you’ll take the Color Dare Challenge this week and play along.
Thank you for responding!
