Hi Crafters,
Another fortnight has passed by and we have a new challenge at As You Like It this week.
We are sponsored by Sweet Pea Stamps and we would love you to create a project using your favourite 'Bright or Pastel' colours and then tell us why they are your favourites to qualify for the prize.
I really love bright and bold colours, especially the colour red, but I truly admire cards from my blogging friends that are created using pastels as I seem to have a problem working with these shades. I tend to deepen the tones while colouring them and end up with a not so pastel finish.
So, I have decided to challenge myself to make a pastel card...or two, and here is my first one.
This was so very hard to stop colouring before I ruined it but I think I've achieved what I set out to do.
Recipe
Stamp - Penny Black Rubber, 'You Are A Peach' by Mo Manning
Medium - Pro/flexmarkers
MFT Blueprints 14 die set
Jus-Cutz Nested Scalloped Square Die
SB Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies
Sentiment - Verve Stamp
Challenges I'd like to enter:
Penny Black & More - Warm Autumn Colours
The Ribbon Girl - Oct. Colour Challenge - Pastels
Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends - #20 ATG
TTCRD - ATG
Fab 'n' Funky - #278 Girls and Boys Come Out To Play
Creative Inspirations - #332 ATG
For more inspiration please visit the blog where all the DT members have created their wonderful projects for you and there you will find the details for the prize and challenge rules. Please remember to add the reason WHY you have a favourite between brights and pastels to qualify for the prize, thanks.
Well that's all from me today, hope to see you again soon,
Lorraine
