CC691 Dapper Tango in the Sahara (06-12-18)

Hello Color Challenge Fans! It's Tuesday and time for another color challenge. #691 on the charts for us.

Let's get started with the fave from last week. Pam was our hostess and she chose A Day at the Beach by Roberta aka stampin'nana

Pam said: "I love the three panel design. The beach scene is so soft and pleasing. The red stripe on the beach chair just makes your eye come right to the focal point. In fact, it makes you want to sit done and enjoy the day!"

Congrats Roberta! The code to add the badge to your blog is attached below, and your card will be pinned on our Color Challenge Pinterest board. Check it out here.

Couple announcements is our newest color challenge hostess. Please welcome Jeanne aka Penny627. She is a talented designer and will be hosting her first challenge in a couple of weeks.

Also The color challenge team is sending happy 55th wedding anniversary wishes to our own color challenge diva Barbara Joyce. A wonderful milestone anniversary.

Now onto this week's challenge. I have chosen colors that have a masculine vibe. Perfect if you are still in need of a Father's Day card. Otherwise, let your creativity flow with the colors.

I just received this exciting message from Mary saying that my card was chosen by Pam as the favorite last week! Woo Hoo! I literally did the Happy Dance (in my head) since it's way too early to literally dance! : ) Thank you so much, Pam, you have made my day start off in a special way~Hugs

Thanks for the great colors this week! For the challenge, I went with some ovals for my critters and scenery- used a combo of watercolor powders (for cloudy) and blue solid paper for my sky. Gave the card some texture with dry embossed and multi layered "ground"- adding 2 die cut trees from a stamping friend- and a tag/fussy cut panel for my sentiment. Finished with a striped washi tape top border. Here's Montana scene

Anita I loved the tea pot you chose and your challenge for this week!

for my second color challenge card, I made a sugar-themed card, using a die cut gingerbread man, along with a trio of fussy cut cupcakes. Used a die cut shadow-style sentiment with 3 layers, and a horizontal border of blue marbled paper and dotted orange washi tape. Here's happy treats

Thanks for a color combo that works well for masculine cards, Mary; I needed a Father's Day card for my dad.
