AAA Colourful - colourboard #29

Hello Crafty Friends,

It's the 15th of June and time for a new colourboard challenge over at AAA Birthday, and this month we have a gorgeous board of -

Blues, puplepink/red violet and green

for you to be inspired by. Here is my take on the board

I don't have any purplepink/red violet markers so I couldn't get the exact colour that is on the board. Instead I grabbed the closest colour I have which is more of a lilac colour, and that's ok. Playing along with our challenges you don't have to match the colours exactly, but they should be the most prominent on your creation. Neutrals like black, white, greys, browns and skin tones may be added. We like all kinds of paper craft project like scrapbooking pages, art journaling pages, tags, cards, ATCs...... and in any style too.

To create my ATCs I started by die cutting the cards, which I then coloured using Distress Oxides and a brayer. I stenciled some leaves/vines on my cards. The parts for the butterflies were die cut and coloured before I assembled them. All the butterflies are coloured using the same coloured markers, but to give my ATCs more of a variation I mixed up what parts of the butterflies got what colour. Before adding the butterflies to the cards I added a piece of tread behind each of the butterflies. A quote was added to the cards, and to finish the ATCs I added a black border.

Products used for these ATCs
Die set: "Nordic Belle Butterfly" by Poppy Stamps
Stencil: "Wedding Vines" by Echo Park
Inks: Distress Oxide inks "tumbled glass", "salty ocean" and Distress ink "mowed lawn" by Tim Holtz/Ranger
Markers: Copic Sketch "V12" and "V15"

I hope you are inspired to play along with us in this colourful challenge!
