While standing in the big box home improvement store waiting for hubby, who always gets lost there, I started looking at the paint swatches for our bathroom.
Suddenly I thought about the Tic-Tac-Toe color challenge and called it up on my phone.
Then I looked that the swatches and found these…
Please keep in mind that the store has to pay for these from the company and I don’t suggest doing this to replace card stock but just once I wanted to match the challenges colors and try die cutting with the swatches.
The base card is white linen card stock.
I used more to emboss with the small embossing folder in the Tim Holtz Sidekick “Springtime” set.
Behind that I applied grey card stock.
With the swatches I matched the left hand column to make the hello and butterflies using the dies from the set.
I glued or taped everything to the card front.
AND…
the green might be my new bathroom color!
I really like it!
Such a pretty CAS design - love the butterflies. Thanks for sharing with us at Colour Dare :)
