Color Dare Surprise July 31

 

      This picture shows my make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

This picture shows the challenge -

A friend was bitten by something and is now in hospital with a very swollen, sore leg - I made this card for her using my favourite colours based on teal, green and blue...

I started with a pale blue card blank matted with teal papers. I added a die cut oval and oval frame to the inside. These were cut from a metallic paper.

I then added the image and sentiment.

Happy Crafting!
