 Hi Crafty Friends,

Yes as the title says, there is a brand new challenge coming -

AAA Colourful

AAA Colourful is a monthly challenge all about using colour. On the 15th of every month there will be a new Colourboard for you to be inspired by, the colours on the board should be the most prominent on your creation, but you may also use neutrals like black, white, greys, browns and skin tones. You will have until the 14th of the following month to create, upload and link your colourful creations to the AAA Colourful challenge blog. Cards can be for any occasion, and any style. We would also love to see tags, ATCs, scrapbook pages, journaling pages...... so if you are a papercrafter you are very welcome to join us in all the colourful challenges to come.

The first challenge/colourboard will be up on the 15th of February, and I hope you'll join us as I can't wait to see, and be inspired by, all your colourful creations.

Take care, keep crafting and get colourful!

A birthday card for a purple lover

 Hello,

It's been a while since I posted anything here, but today I'm sharing a card I created for a fab lady who loves purple and celebrated her birthday at the beginning of the month.

It's a one layer card. I've stamped the outline of the flowers and leaves, and then using the coordinating stencils coloured the flowers. I stamped the sentiment and added a few enamel dots.

Products used
Flower stamp and stencil set: "Delicate Floral Print" by Pinkfresh Studio
Sentiment stamp: "Happy Sentiments" by Altenew
Inks: Distress Oxide inks by Tim Holtz/ Ranger
Enamel dots: "Transparent" by Nellie's Choice

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, I really appreciate it!

Take care, keep crafting and have fun!

AAA Birthday Card challenges game #57 - Rainbow or Rainbow Colours

 Happy New Year Crafty Friends,

and welcome to the first AAA Birthday Card challenge of 2024!
We are starting the year with a colourful theme chosen by Kati - 

Rainbow or Rainbow Colours


Here's my take

A birthday card filled with balloons in a rainbow of colours was the first thing that came to mind when I found out the theme of this challenge. Balloons in a rainbow of colours, can it get more birthday than that?! This card was so quick and easy to make. I started by going through my Distress Oxides and picking out what colours to use, then i ink blended the balloons through a stencil. Unfortunatelly the pictures doesn't make the colours justice. The photo was taken at the darkest time of the year here in Sweden, the month of December. After ink blending the balloons I splattered the card with some water, stamped a birthday greeting and added some clear enamel dots, and my card was done. Easy peasy....

Products used
Stencil: Balloon stencil created by myself using my Silhouette
Inks: Distress Oxides by Tim Holtz/ ranger
Stamp set: "Happy Sentiments" by Altenew
Embellishment: Enamel Dots " Transparent" by Nellie's Choice
