Welcome to this week's Colour Dare challenge!
This is a fun challenge - essentially leading to a monochromatic (or very close to that) project. Using the colour wheel, you are to choose 3 colours that are side by side on the wheel.
I chose yellow (Canary), yellow-orange (Sundance) and orange (Nectarine) for my card.
I used several small scrap pieces from various paper packs to create the background. I cut them into 1" wide strips and then cut them on an angle. They were placed side by side to fill the font of the card. I bordered that in black and then die cut the words "I love". The bottom part of the sentiment was stamped with Intense Black and then I used 3 markers to create an ombre effect inside the letters. A few black bursts were added with a coloured bitty sparkle in the center of each.
Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you interpret the challenge guidelines above.

Fabulous colour selections Alyson and a perfect match to the black elements. I always like yellow/orange with black. X
