Colorful Options Royal Blue

Posted on May 2, 2024 by baileyrosy

Welcome back to another fun challenge at Colorful Options, we had so many amazing entries for our Pastel challenges last month and do hope you will play along without our latest challenge where we are asking you to create a project using Royal Blue

Please remember that you may incorporate any neutrals or metallics you need in your design and that your make does not need to be monochromatic. If royal blue is not to your liking, join us with a rainbow-inspired craft.

As you can see from my card I went down the rainbow path as my “Royal Blue” didn’t arrive in time.

We have an amazing guest designer this month the wonderful and talented Trina from Phamtastic Designs do check out her blog she is a master with Colour.

Items used

Honey Bee Stamps Parot Die

Spellbinders oval die

Spellbinders Four Leaf embossing folder

Distress Oxides

Sentiment Tim Holtz .

. We do hope you will join us at Colorful Options so why not pop along and see what the rest of the Design Team have created to inspire and delight.

In other news my lovely sister is visiting from the UK to celebrate Greek Orthodox Easter with us and we are so looking forward to spending some time at our holiday home by the sea weather permitting.

I’m also linking up with NBUS#62 as my parot die is fresh out of the packet.

Take care

Less is More #485 Black and Light Purple.

Posted on June 10, 2023 by baileyrosy

Welcome back to another fun challenge at Less is More. For the next fortnight, we are asking you to use black and light purple on your Clean and simple creation.

I had several goes, as usual, trying to get the correct colour, every time I thought I had it just right and went outside to take a photo it looked insipid so this is the nearest I got to being satisfied.

I used the Spellbinders sealed ginkgo die for the main element and watercolored the leaves using a mixture of shaded lilac and wilted violet distress oxides. The oval frames are also courtesy of Spellbinders as is the wax seal. I added a little black strip to the side as I felt there just wasn’t enough and there you have it.

We would love to see your creations at Less is More the Design Team has amazing cards to inspire and delight so come along and join in the fun.

Less is More #484 One Layer,Flowers

Posted on May 27, 2023 by baileyrosy

Hello crafty friends it’s time for a new challenge at Less is More and for the next fortnight, we are asking you to create a one layer card with flowers as the theme.

This is my second attempt at a one layer card I did struggle I cannot lie but it does seem to be getting easier only took me three days instead of a week !

Not my finest work as you can see from the above card I’m not a confident colourer inner. I used a variety of Distress Oxides and a water brush to colour this pretty stamp Stylish Ovals Birthday Wishes by Spellbinders. There’s not much more I can say about a one layer card apart from the fact it looks much better in real life.

Do pop over to LIM to see the beautiful CAS one layer gorgeousness from my teammates, we do hope you will play along. Don’t forget to keep it clean and simple.

I’m playing along with Double D who are asking us to use flowers
