CD 619 - Trio of Smiles

 Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 619!

The graphic is below - you must use at least three of the four colours. 

I chose to use Bluebird, Jade and Honey Butter. 

The background was embossed on black cardstock and I used white pigment ink and a brayer to enhance the pattern by adding white on top. The white gradually changed to more of a grey colour. 

The words were die cut from coloured cardstock, black cardstock and then vellum and assembled. The smaller sentiments were stamped and die cut and added with foam tape under each of the larger words. I purposely offset the layers, lining them up at the bottom right. Clear Stickles were added to the centres of the tiles on the background. 

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

Alyson, This is a beautiful card. The embossing technique is most effective in adding to the elegance.
