Hello Crafty Friends,
It is time for the first colourboard challenge of 2026 over at AAA Colourful, and this month we have a lovely board in pink and white for you to draw inspiration from.
As soon as I saw the colours I knew exactly what I was going to create, a page in my art journal with a ballerina in pink and with lots of sparkle. Here is the end result....

I blame the weather!đWith January came winter and snow, lots of snow. Every day I wake up there is more snow, so somehow my balleria turned into snowmen and my art journal page into ATCs.
I started by ink smooshing distress ink onto a sheet of watercolour paper, using three different shades of pink. Then I got my stencils out, found one with snowflakes, and some texture paste. After the paste had dried I cut the sheet of paper into four ATC sized pieces. I die cut all the parts for my snowmen, and coloured them before piecing the snowmen together. I went through my stamps and found winter/snow related sentiments, which I stamped and heat embossed on white cardstock. On one of the cards I have used a Swedish sentiment that reads "Snöflingor Àr kyssar frÄn himlen/ Snowflakes are kisses from heaven". The sentiments where cut into word strips, at least most of them, and glued to the cards as were the snowmen. I hope you like my ATCs, and that you are inspired to join us in this colourful challenge!
The AAA Colourful challenge blog is filled with beautiful, fun and cute inspiration created by the talented design team and our special guest designer for the month, Patricia. Patricia's creation is beautiful, so head on over and show her, and the DT, some love.
All the information on how to play along with our challenges can also be found on the challenge blog. Best of all, we love all kinds of paper craft projects and in all styles too, so feel free to create whatever takes your fancy. Just remember the colours of the board must be the most prominent on your creation. You have until the 14th of february to create, upload and link your project to the challenge blog. Hope to see you there!
