CD 609 - Thinking of You Arch

 Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 609! 

Black and beige are the colours for this challenge - plus ONE additional colour. NO WHITE! 

The absence of white made this a very challenging project for me. Dies leave a white border around them so that was out. I finally decided to use a black background and light brown (beige) cardstock on which to stamp the images. The flowers were stencilled and die cut. I die cut a gold arch and added the flowers around the arch (on a 3D embossed background). The sentiment was stamped and die cut before being added to the centre of the arch. A few gold gems were placed around the flowers. 

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy,

Alyson

I love the dramatic look with your black background. It really makes everything else in your design stand out so well.
