Our 1st Heart2Heart Challenge!

I am so excited to be launching this new challenge blog for all Close To My Heart fans!

Today is our 1st challenge and it's a color challenge. We are working with the following colors:

(If you don't have these exact colors, just use something close).

Here's my card using the challenge colors (plus a tiny bit of Heavenly Blue):

I used the Springtime stamp set in a couple of different ways. First, I stamped the flowery part of the boots with Sweet Leaf and then stamped the outline image of the boots in Chocolate. I watercolored a little Sunflower color onto the top edge of the boots and then added some shine to the top edge of the boots with Liquid Glass. I cut the boots out and added them to the torn "mud" created from Chocolate cardstock.

The "sun" is actually one of the umbrella images from the set stamped in Sunflower and then cut to fit the corner of the card. A second stamped umbrella was cut into sun rays and added to the card as well. If you look closely, you'll see some lightly sponged clouds and stamped raindrops to the right side of the card. The sentiment was stamped onto a piece that was die cut and added to the card with foam tape.

So that's my sample in a nutshell. What will you create for this challenge?? To see all of the DT samples, and to get the guidelines for the challenge, head over to the Heart 2 Heart Challenges blog and play along! I can't wait to see what you come up with - you might just be chosen one of our first Friday Five or win a fabulous prize package from our sponsor this week - Juli Clark!

Have fun and I will see you again soon!
