Color Dare Meets PWCO


Happy Hump Day everyone!  How's your week been going?  I've been rather busy trying to stay WARM - the thermometer has been hovering around the -30*C mark the past couple of days... today is supposed to warm up considerably but I'll believe it when I see it!

This week's Color Dare challenge is a fun one that screamed BABY card (even though I don't know anyone having a baby...)  What do you think?  Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and Basic Black.  I think I went that way because either of the colors would work for a boy or a girl and the black is, well, neutral.  :)

I have been playing along with Peg and the girls over at the Paperworks Co. Sketch challenge for the last few weeks and this week's sketch is super-fun:


Don't you love all the scallop-y layers at the top?  I bought some fun baby stamps in the clearance bin at my LSS a couple of weeks ago and they were PERFECT for this sketch and color combo:

Stamps: Party My Crib, On the Line (Darcie's Stamps)  Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight  Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, SU! DSP, Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist  Accessories: Labels Fifteen Nesties, adhesive pearls, sponge dauber, black satin ribbon, jumbo eyelet, paper piercer, scallop border punch (EK Success), clear embossing powder

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope you will find some time this week to play along with us at the Color Dare...these colors are a lot of fun.  See you tomorrow for a brand new 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge!
