Embellish Dimension Color Challenge :: Sponsored by Renaissance by Design

Renaissance by Design is a young, Canadian based, clear stamp and alterable item company. Our stamps have a clean and simple design, with maximum versatility appealing to both the card-maker and scrapbooker alike. The ribbon from RBD is excellent for making the perfect bows you require; it ties like a DREAM. We ship anywhere in North America and all orders over $50 receive FREE shipping. Come check out our gallery for inspiration, our facebook page or blog for upcoming giveaways and tutorials.

This challenge requires you to create a project that uses dimension. That means, create projects and use foam adhesive!  You can incorporate the theme in many ways, such as a card, scrapbook layout, mini book, tag, gift bag, box, etc. The main colors are highlighted in Polaroid inspired color swatches. Keep the colors of your project as close to the colors in the challenge image.  Remember, colors can be incorporated into your project in more ways than cardstock.

Don’t forget:

1. Use the colors in the Polaroid-inspired color swatches (featured in the image above) and

2. Use dimension (i.e, foam adhesive).
