Favourite Main Colour (and why)

Welcome to As You Like It Challenge

Our fortnightly challenge is a home for you to create something 

which gives you a warm "inner glow" of pride, without lots of entry rules.

CHALLENGE RULES:

Usually we provide 2 or more contrasting options for you to choose from. 

Join us by using your favourite option within your creation. 

To be eligible to win our prize, or top-3 spot, 

you must explain why you've made your choice,

so we can appreciate why you're proud of your creation!

eg, if the theme is 'favourite animal' and you decide on 'rabbits', 

maybe the reason is that you love Thumper, the bunny from Bambi !

So get crafting and remember the main requirement in creating is

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Colour (main colour of project, not necessarily monochrome) (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

Pastels are my favourites, as I find them calming on the eye.  In particular I like blue, pink and purple.  I've chosen this pretty pastel blue because the card and papers are some of my favourites.  I believe the image might be a robin, but I've chosen to colour him as a chubby kingfisher to continue the blue theme.

Brenda

 

Recently, I have been drawn to neutrals in the beige range.  I love that so many colors work so easily with them.  I particularly like the green and pink with the beige in these small file folders.

Elaine

I like neutral backgrounds to make the elements stand out, especially slightly embossed effect papers. I can then add any colours to make my Christmas cards all a little different. 

Larissa

My favourite colour (in cardmaking) is pink. I just love the look of it. Bright or a pastel, it doesn't matter: I love it all!

Lynne

Blues and purples have been my favourite colours for a long time, but I have stuck with blue for this card.

Sarah

My main colour here is blue, because it's my Sister's favourite colour and I needed to challenge myself!

Wilma

My main colour is green, because my favourite colour is green. I'll often use this colour for male cards. 

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Lawn Fawn

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite: Cute or Elegant style (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

I'm not sure elegant is a quality that would apply to me in any thread of my life, and when it comes to cute versus elegant in my crafting, it's definitely cute that wins the vote!  In particular cute critters.

Brenda

I do like creating elegant cards, but I would say my favorite would be cute.  I love finding cute images and fun, whimsical papers that hopefully will bring a smile.

Elaine

 I like making both cute and elegant depending the occasion. I do enjoy making cute cards as they are fun to do and the images are adorable. 

Larissa

Using Valentine mice from Lawn fawn

It will come as no surprise that I chose cute cards, although that doesn’t mean I don’t also really enjoy making an elegant card from time to time. That said, I have to admit that I especially love making cards with cute little animals on them, so those are my absolute favourites to create.

Lynne

I do love to make cute cards for little ones but more often than not I make floral cards as I make quite a few for an elderly Aunt to give to her friends.

Sarah

I can't help myself, it's cute for me. I love quirky stamps or digis of people, animals, houses etc. They are a joy to colour and I can always find a patterned paper to compliment them.

Wilma

My go to type of card is elegant.  For many years I made cute cards but lately my 'taste' is elegant cards. I am not sure why but this type of card is the first thing I go to.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Dies to Die For

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Die (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

I've recently had a bit of a rummage through my craft stash and reaquainted myself with some of my older dies. I really love this daisy border die which creates such an effective frame around an image, adding a lot of interest and texture while still keeping it fairly flat for postage!

Brenda

My favorite die right now is one I received as a Christmas surprise.  I not only love it because it was such a very sweet gift, it is very versatile and I no longer have to cut my own "seed packets" for junk journals.  The set includes so many other useful dies.

Elaine

I have so many dies I love. This heart die is one I use often for a CAS card. It is elegant and suits a DL size card perfectly. I also love die sentiments. 

Larissa

For many years I have been a big fan of the Crea-Nest-Lies XXL dies by Crealies. These are all kinds of basic shapes, and some of the dies have a lovely decorative edge. I use them very often on my cards, so for today’s challenge I made a card using these dies.

Lynne

I do use many dies, but I really like my postage collage die.  It can be used as it is or cut up to create any style you wish.

Sarah

Like Annette, I used this theme to have a look at my stash and make use of a die that hasn't seen daylight for a while. This one's been used a few times and makes a lovely feature on a fairly simple layout.

Wilma

I love letter dies and these are my new favorite. I like the type! They have the perfect height and width and are so versatile.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
