AAA Colourful Colourboard #15

Good morning, 

Welcome to this month's challenge from AAA Colourful where we have a beautiful colourboard full of blues and teals. 

I love a colourful card base so I started off with blue card and added a strip of white behind a wider panel of dark teal. On this I heat embossed the sentiment in white and added my fussy cut images which are from the Honey Bee Coffee Break stamp set. 

What will this colouboard inspire you to make? Check out the super creations from the rest of the Design Team over on the AAA Colourful blog and join in the fun. 

Much love

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #460

Good afternoon all,

Now, can someone please tell me how we are in Sept already?! For me the first part of the year started off slowly but when we got past June it feels like someone is accelerating us through to the end of the year! 

So here is the first Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge for Sept. It is another Crazy 8 which I think can be hit or miss for some of you but they really aren’t as tricky as the look. Just select four of the colours in the grid and craft away! 

We reference Close To My Heart colours but any brand is fine as long as you make a very close match. 

With this type of challenge I usually start off by picking out the colours of card and set about die cutting but I didn’t fancy that this time. Instead I used some new stamps from Honey Bee Stamps called Coffee Break and got out my closest matching alcohol markers. 

I have used the colours Smoothie, Canary, Peacock, Pebble. Almond and Fern. Once you get started it’s quite easy to get all four, or in my case six, colours on your project. Don’t forget it doesn’t have to be a card! Any paper craft project is acceptable. 

So I will leave you to head over the the Color My Heart Color Dare challenge #460 on the blog and check out what colours the rest of the Design Team chose to use. 

Since I have used a coloured card base for this card, I am going to enter it into Time Out Challenge #195. 

Much love

Steph
