AAA Colourful Challenge #8 - Guest Designer - Autumn Greetings Artsy Leaves

Hello,

A while back, one of my cards was selected as a winner over at a new, favourite challenge: AAA Colourful. Along with the thrill of the win was a request to be a guest designer for a future challenge. Of course I said YES!

Today, marks the launch of that 'future' challenge I mentioned AND, with it, my guest designer showcase. 

Welcome to AAA Colourful Challenge - Colourboard #8, where we have this incredible image as inspiration for the next month.

Yes, initially I found the image daunting but, after plenty of staring and reflecting, I realized it's filled with Fall/Halloween colours. Once that realization struck, the ideas began to flow, which is a challenge in and of itself! So many directions I wanted to explore (and may well do!), but finally, I decided on what you see below.

In a nutshell: 

• My Tim Holtz Artsy Leaves were blended with an assortment of orange distress inks - and zhuzhed up with a couple sprays of Spiced Marmalade Distress Spritz for extra shimmer.

• Waffle Flower's Postage Collage die worked a charm to capture the various hues of grey from the image. Three shades of cardstock simply cut, reassembled, adorned with a leaf and attached to a black background.

• The orbs in the images were translated onto my card with enamel dots (greys, black, orange and white). The ones that look yellow in my photo are actually a pale green, similar to that in the upper portion of the photo.

I'm looking forward to seeing how you interpret the colourboard in your unique fashion. Possibilities galore! 

Please head over to the main challenge blog to see the design team's incredible creations.

The Link is open until October 14th; plenty of time for you to join in the fun.

Thank you to the AAA Colourboard Challenge team for inviting me as your guest. 

I am deeply honoured! 

Thank you for dropping by!
