Color Dare #21

I took a little tiny break with all of the excitement around here! Let me tell you, I am NOT a night owl, and staying up until 3 A.M. on Sunday night was not an easy feat! ;) It sure was fun though! What an experience the past few days have been! I am so grateful for such a warm welcome to the Dirty Dozen. Your comments have been such a treasure to me! Thank you SO MUCH!

Today is Color Dare #21! I can't believe there have been that many already! Time is just flying by!

This week's colors are Pumpkin Pie, Bashful Blue, Riding Hood Red, and So Saffron. I wanted to use this adorable birthday mouse, and was really happy that he would work for this week's color combination. He has been sitting there waiting patiently! I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with prismas and Gamsol. I wanted it to look like there was a birthday candle glow all around, so I started with warm background colors and then finished up with the cooler foreground colors. I used SU patterned paper and the retired Sale-a-bration ribbon. I am not sure where these buttons came from, but they were a near enough match that I decided to use one and kept everything else very streamlined and simple. Such a fast, fun card.

Visit the Color Dare blog for some more inspiration (I can't wait to see what our girls come up with)! I hope you'll play along!
