Color Dare 54 with Sweet Sketch Wednesday

I combined this week's Color Dare with the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. Our challenge is to use Cashmere and Champagne as our neutrals (white is also okay) and add one other color. I used
Crème Brulee as my color, and I added a little Colonial White. I have fallen in love with the lacy B&T from our new Frosted kit, and it went perfect with this challenge, esp. with the lacy doily stamp and the lacy border punch I used!

 Go check out the color dare and the 5 new DT members we got! I'm also entering this into the ombre challenge at H2H.

Materials used:
Cardstock: Cashmere, Champagne, Colonial White, Crème Brulee
B&Ts: Frosted
Stamps: Love Doily
Ink: Crème Brulee, Cashmere
Other: MS border punch (not CTMH), Sparkles Small Flourishes
