Welcome to a new year at Colour Dare! This is the first post of 2018 and we are so glad to welcome you back!
You will notice that the colour palette is arranged a little bit differently - it is done in a way to show you the colours in a simpler format without being so overwhelming. Black and white are standard with all our challenges unless otherwise indicated. Please make sure to read any notes that are under the palette to be sure that you are following the rules stated with each of the challenges.
I love the new Chelsea Gardens paper pack and since Glacier is found within that paper pack, I wanted to capitalize on that. I used the Glacier striped paper and I stamped my flowers and the sentiment in Charcoal. I used the Rose Embossing Folder but I inked it with Charcoal ink first to make the background Charcoal in colour. Bashful Glitter paper was a perfect touch to add some shimmer to my card. The flower and greenery were coloured using ShihHan markers in matching colours.
The design for my card was taken from the brand new Make It From Your Heart Volume 4 -
Card Making Guide. It is based on Pattern #23.

This is so pretty, Alyson! I love the charcoal embossed background and your floral cluster with the bow!
The background cricut cut is such a nice touch against the silver glitter, and love your floral surrounded by all the glitter...beautiful card.
Your card is so pretty! The Charcoal ink on the embossing folder really makes for a great background. You used so many details and all in the perfect way for your card.
GORGEOUS card!! I love the raised flowers in the background!
Fabulous floral background--I love how you inked the Rose embossing folder and the layers of flowers over it. Lovely card composition. Thanks for inspiring me as usual!
