AAA Colourful - Colourboard Challenge 11 - Celebrate and Best Wishes (PFS Poinsettia Frame, Here for You Sentiments, TE strips)

Hello,

Popping in to share two cards inspired AAA Colourful: Colourboard #11. That image is positively gorgeous!




Even though the festive season is over, I'm not ready to put away all my Christmas products.

For this challenge, I wanted to see if my Pinkfresh Studio Poinsettia Frame set could be used with non-traditional colours; specifically, the palette featured here. Two panels - and two cards later - I was done. 

The inks I used are listed below; hopefully they bear a close resemblance to the colours swatch. I'm not sure why my photos make the leaves looks more green than aqua (because I used aqua inks), but...oh well. Sighhh.... The sentiments are from Here For You (PFS) press plates/dies and Taylored Expressions strips.
     
Pinkfresh Studio Inks:
Cherry Blossom, Slumber + Blue Jay
Ocean Breeze + Aquamarine
Altenew Inks:
Citrus Burst + Fresh Lemon

NOTE: Thrilled and honoured to be selected as one of the Top Three at AAA Colourful: Colourboard #11. Thank you!

Card 2:


I'll let you decide if my experiment worked. I think they did...maybe...sort of...

Once again, thank you to the AAA Colourful designers for their fabulous challenge and wonderful inspiration.

Thank you, as well, to the two other challenges I've joined:

Your choices were perfect - and the leaves definitely look aqua to me (my favourite colour). Such a lovely muted colour palette for Christmas, it's wonderful! Thanks for joining us for this month's challenge over at AAA Colourful.

Such lovely colours with this frame set - and a great way to use products outside of the norm. Thank you for joining us at Cardz 4 Galz xx Lynda/Loopyloo DT
