Design Challenge: Atlantic Hearts Sketch #289


Design Challenge: Atlantic Hearts Sketch #289

Here's a new card I made today to inspire you to join in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #289. Feel free to gather inspiration from this week's sketch plus all the other Design Team artwork in order to create your own project. As always, your project does NOT have to be a card. It can be absolutely anything as long as you incorporate this week's sketch in some way.

Here is this week's sketch:



This Challenge will be open until Sunday night, November x11, at 11:59pm Atlantic Standard Time (10:59pm EST, 9:59pm CST, 8:59pm MST, 7:59pm PST). We hope that you will find the time to play along!

Guidelines for entering can be found here.

Stay creative and continue to share kindness along the way,
Kimberly

Pomegranate, Sapphire, Saffron

Welcome to this week's Color My Heart Color Challenge! This week for Color Dare #317 we are challenging you to use Pomegranate, Sapphire, and Saffron (with optional Gold).

Just a few notes: We use CTMH color names for reference, however, you are welcome to use any products as long as you match closest to the colors in the challenge. Also, we have new guidelines on neutral colors: White, Cream, Black, Gray, Kraft and Brown(s) are free to use; however if they are included in the challenge graphic they MUST be used in your creation. Also, make a note not to use any additional colors beyond those on the color palette.

My card design:


Now it is your turn to create! Just create a project (card, layout or other craft project) using this week's colors. Then link them to the Color My Heart Blog ~ Color Dare #317.

For this Color Dare Challenge, you have until Thursday November 15, 2018 at 10:00 p.m. EST to submit your project. We love to see your inspiring projects!
