Hello Crafty Friends,
Can you believe we are already halfway through November? Time is really flying! Being the 15th of the month means it is time for a new colour themed challenge over at AAA Colourful, and do we have a beautiful and classic colour palette for you to be inspired by! The colours of the November colourboard are -
Red, White and Gold
The first thing that came to mind was, Christmas, the colours are perfect for Christmas cards, tags.... well anything Christmas related. They are also perfect for a million other occasions, and I am sure your imagination is far more vivide than mine.
You are free to create for any occasion you want, and whatever kind of paper craft project you feel like, and in any style too. The only thing you have to remember is to have fun and that the colours of the board have to be the most prominent. You may add neutrals like; black, greys, browns, skin tones. So join in the fun and show us how you are inspired by the colourboard. You have until December 14th to create, upload and link your colourful creation to the AAA Colourful challenge blog.

Here is a little about my card, how I created it and what products I have used.
I started by die cutting my poinsettia, in white and in shiny gold. I popped out all the petals from both poinsettias. The white ones I coloured using my Copic makers, and then put them back in their place of the white poinsettia. The gold petals I put aside for another time. I added the gold outline and leaves on top of the "white" poinsettia and glued them together creating a beautiful flower in red and gold.
Then it was time for the actual card. I started by stamping and heat embossing the background using a lovely background stamp filled with Christmas related words. I cut it to size, added a red border to it and addhered it to a card base I had already prepared.
I then added my poinsettia to the card, and at this time I decided to add a vellum border to my flower before addhering it to the card. To finish of my card I stamped and heat embossed a Christmas greeting on a piece of black cardstock, cut it out and added it to my card.
