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',

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

Your Favourite Colouring Medium (& 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

My favourite colouring medium is my disress ink reinkers which I use for watercolouring almost every project. I have recently been learning coloured pencil drawing but I've not managed to use them very successfully for my cards, and I find the watercolouring quite therapeutic anyway, so it's not a bad thing to have both mediums for different hobbies.

Brenda

I must say, Copic markers are my favorite.  I love the way they blend and I have more experience with them.  I haven't given up on colored pencils, yet, I'm just still trying to get the hang of them.

Elaine

My favourite colouring medium are Promarkers and Copics. I love the range of colours and the easy way they blend. 

Lynne

I use copics the most as I have had them from the start of my crafting journey, have lots of them and am more used to the way they blend.  I sometimes have a play with Zig markers, mainly for flowers though.

Sarah

I love my Promarkers. I have tried many other alcohol markers but always go back to what I know. They blend together beautifully and layer for shading brilliantly too.

Wilma

I love my Copic markers. They are so easy to blend and there are so much colours.

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.

Last Minute Manda

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

Your Favourite Season (& 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

My favourite season is Summer, when the days are at their longest and warmest. I really don't like the cold, wet weather of winter, and Autumn and Spring are still a little on the cool side.

Brenda

Spring is my favorite time of year.  I love all the beautiful vibrant flowers that appear all fresh and new I also love the temperatures are generally much to my liking.

Elaine

I love to craft at Christmas. It's always a pleasure to make Christmas cards for the family and use lots of sparkle.

Larissa

I think all the seasons have their own charm, but if I really had to choose, I would pick spring. It marks the beginning of warmer weather, although thankfully it is not too hot yet. The days start to get longer again, the trees begin to grow new leaves, and people seem happier because they get to enjoy more sunshine. It is such a lovely time of year!

Lynne

Spring is definitely my favourite.  Nicer weather to get out and tidy the garden and everything is starting to grow again.

Sarah

Winter for me, or should I say Christmas in particular. The build up, preparation and anticipation of it all...including card making throughout the year.

Wilma

My favorite season is fall. I'm always amazed by how beautifully the leaves on the trees turn. And each tree has a different color. Beautiful!

I also love the scent in the air. And the piles of fallen leaves—I love walking through them. 

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.

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.
