AAA Colourful Colourboard #32

Hi all, 

It's the 15th of the month so that means we have a new colourboard for you. AAA Colourful colourboard #32.

Wonderful colours and I knew straight away which stamp set to reach for. 

The colours just reminded me of fruit! 

But of course the leaves on the graphic are beautiful and provide wonderful inspiration. Some further fantastic inspiration is over on the AAA Colourful blog where you can also join in the fun.

Much love

AAA Colourful Colourboard #31

Good morning, 

Today's colourboard from AAA Colourful is a feast of blues.

As the graphic suggests, these are watery colours and I chose to use this as my inspiration for this month's card. I have left it blank of a sentiment as I didn't feel it needed one but I can add one at a later date if I change my mind.

Will you use water as your inspiration or do the colours take you in a different direction? Show us over on the AAA Colourful blog.

Much love

AAA Colourful Colourboard #30

Hi all, 

Welcome to a new challenge at AAA Colourful. Today we have challenge #30 with a colourboard as follows:

As soon as I saw the beautiful blues and the warm orange tones I knew I wanted to use my new moon stencil and create a night sky.

All my colours seem to have come out a bit brighter than anticipated, perhaps more like the graphic than the colour strip but that's the way it goes sometimes! 

Join in the fun over on AAA Colourful blog and check out the fantastic creations by the rest of the design team.

AAA Colourful Colourboard #28

Welcome...

...to a new challenge from AAA Colourful, challenge #28.

Just look at those purples and blues. I actually really like the idea of using the challenge graphic as a prompt and creating a beautiful swirling background, maybe with a gel plate? 

Anyway, I didn't do that! I'm not a huge user of purple as I find it hard to use without my creation looking sickly, however I really like the card I've made this month and I think it's because I had to work extra hard to achieve the result I wanted! 

What will you do with these lovely colours? Link your project up over at the AAA Colourful blog.

There's lots of scope with these zingy colours and I look forward to seeing what you create. Join in over at the AAA Colourful blog.

AAA Colourful Colourboard #26

Good morning, 

It's time for a new colourboard at AAA Colourful with the new challenge #26.

An intriguing mix of beiges and blues. 

I chose to create a beehive with the colours and added die cut elements from the same die set.

Looking forward to seeing what you create with this simple colourboard. Check out the inspiration over at the AAA Colourful blog and join in too.

AAA Colourful Colourboard #25

Hi all, 

Welcome to the February AAA Colourboard Challenge #25. This month we have a great colourboard for you as follows:

A really good selection of colours to work with here. And this is what I came up with.

I had the mustard frame left over from another project so I put it to use here and added a smaller die cut and embossed panel of dark blue to the centre, topped with the floral, sentiment and finally the bow (just to get the purple in there!). 

Please check out the fabulous inspiration over on the AAA Colourful challenge blog and link up your wonderful creation too.

Much love

AAA Colourful Colourboard #24

Good morning and Happy New Year from AAA Colourful!

How is your New Year going so far and did you have a good Christmas break? We spent Christmas with family in Northern Ireland, which is always tricky to organise since I don't have the 'magic' of Santa and have to get the presents over there without the children seeing! 

So here we go with the AAA Colourful Colourboard #24.

As I prep my January cards before Christmas I am usually still in the festive mood when designing my cards and they are my favourite cards to create anyway! I went a bit overboard with this month's challenge as you will see!

Since the 'JOY' is die cut from the three different shades of pink, I then used them on further cards. 

At least I got to add to the Christmas card stash! And now it is your turn to play along. Create your card and join in the fun over on the AAA Colourful blog.

Much love

AAA Colourful Colourboard #23

Almost Merry Christmas! 

Everyone ready for Christmas? No me either! Anyway lets not dwell on that when we can be creating something lovely with this month's colourboard from AAA Colourful.

Don't forget you have until 14th Jan to join in so if you are too busy before Christmas, you still have time afterwards.

The colours made me think of ice and snowflakes so I used Uniko's Large Snowflake Two stencil and used three of the colours from the board to ink it up. 

Plenty of fabulous inspiration over on the AAA Colourboard blog and that's where you can join in the fun too.

Much love

AAA Colourful Colourboard #22

Hi all, 

Welcome to the AAA Colourful challenge where this month we have a festive inspired colourboard for you.

I wanted to use the colours to create poinsettia for my card and I was going to have a plain white die cut background but then I remembered my Spellbinders Circular Stitch Background die and decided to do a bit of stitching! 

Can't wait to see what you decide to create and of course there's lots of lovely inspiration over on the AAA Colouful blog.

Much love

AAA Colourful Colourboard #21

Hello! 

Welcome to this month's challenge from AAA Colourful where we have a lovely colourboard for you.

When I first saw the colours I thought they lent themselves to a Christmas card so that's what I made! 

I have used a stamp set from Clearly Besotted to create my card above which is a very simple stamp and colour with alcohol markers. 

Will you create a Christmas card or can you imagine something different with the colours? Join in the fun at the AAA Colourful blog and see what wonders the rest of the Design Team have created. 

Much love

AAA Colourful Colourboard #20

Good morning, 

Today at AAA Colourful challenge we have a very interesting colourboard for you:

I don't know about you but these colours were difficult for me...until I discovered this cute little stamp by Clearly Besotted in my stash. Green for the frogs, tick! And the rest of the colours used on the books and colouring pencil.

So what will you create with this colourboard? You can get plenty of inspiration from the rest of the AAA Colourful Design Team over on the blog, and I've noticed there are a few Halloween style cards in the mix...now why didn't I think of that?!

Much love
