Do you prefer Brights or Pastels (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 
to have fun and enjoy your crafting time!

Your Favourite: Pastels or Brights (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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



Pastels are my favourite colours, and in particular pinks, blues and purples. I think they're easier on the eye and pretty.  I've used lots of pinks on today's card, even for the little koala critter for a bit of fun.






I love the soft look of pastels and feel they lend a more vintage look to my journals.


 


I have chosen pastel colours for this card. I think pastels can give an elegance to a card with their subtle hues. 







I love the look of both pastel and bright colours, but when I make a card it is almost always in bright colours. I love how bright the colours look and how much they pop.




I like to make brighter colours for young people, especially against a white background, as it makes them stand out.



I LOVE a bit of colour and like to make sure my cards stand out on the mantelpiece. I think this one might just do that!!







I love bright colours. They make me happy.





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.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.

Your Favourite Style: Simple or Fussy (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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



Although I often add a lot of fancy embellishments to my cards, I do actually enjoy making clean and simple cards which keep the focus on the image, especially if it's a cutie!  




I lean little more toward clean and simple cards because I really love the more graphic look and ease of posting.



I don't think I am either simple or fuss , a little middle of the road. This card is probably as fussy as it gets. I always feel if I add too many embellishments my cards become a bit of a clutter.







I am definitely a simple girl. I love letting and image shine on a card and often don't add a lot of embellishments. 





Normally I am like Elaine, a bit middle of the road, but for "big" birthdays and for a special someone I like to make them fussier with extra embellishments.



I am a simple soul but not CAS. I love patterned paper but don't tend to add frilly bits these days and prefer the simple style.







Over the years, my type of cards has changed from fussy to simple. Back then, I made cards with many layers and frills, but that has now shifted to more simple. I must say that it is not always easy to make simple cards. And sometimes the paper or stamp is too beautiful to hide.





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.
