Color Dare

With temperatures here in the 80's the last few days, it certainly feels more like summer than spring.  I've used a CTMH stamp set which came with the Chantilly Scrapbooking Workshop and the required colors for this week's Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #141 to make this summery card.

I am not a scrapbooker.  I'm mostly a cardmaker.  But there are times when the stamp set is available only in the CTMH Scrapbooking Workshops catch my eye.  This set was one of those.  There's no law that you must use the paper and stamps in a Scrapbooking Workshop specifically for scrapbooking.  There should, however, be a warning when one of the stamps is super hard to fussy cut.  I don't think I'll be fussy cutting these leaves again!   The scalloped circle cut is on the Art Philosophy cricut cartridge. The embossing folders are CTMH's trellis and Cuttlebug's dotted swiss.  Scalloped circle and card base are Kraft.
