Color Dare #197

Hi! I know it's been a while, but man, I've got a lot going on. I needed some creativity in my life, so I took the day to just create some cards.

I've been preparing for a cross-country move which will happen within the month. We finished homeschooling on May 28, and then my mom died unexpectedly which has set me back a little. After a long trip to the funeral, we are back and I'm stressing out, but making cards has helped calm me down a little.

This one is for the current color dare over at Color My Heart. The sketch is from Atlantic Hearts. I used Confetti Wishes which had both colors - Pacifica and Canary.


 

Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy, Pacifica
B&Ts: Confetti Wishes
Stamps: Artiste
Other: Paradise Paper Shapes Flowers, White Daisy Brads
