A Row of Color

Hello!

This card is for Casology Week # 204  cue word ROW, and Color Throwdown #399.  The graphics for both challenges are at the bottom of this post.

I send my Dad cards weekly with the find the difference puzzles from the Washington Post Sunday magazine. Sometimes coming up with a masculine card is difficult.  Color choices make that a bit easier.


When I saw the prompt for Casology, I knew I wanted to use Simon Says Stamp's Medium Dot Row die in some fashion.  Checking out Color Throwdown gave me a good set of colors that can go either masculine or feminine.

I die cut the bottom of the card front panel, then colored each of the dots with Memento markers and then clear heat embossed them for the color to hold up.  Each dot was then replaced on a small foam square into its space.

                                   

Thanks so much for stopping by!
