AYLI (DT) Favourite Christmas Colours

Good morning peeps, happy Thursday to you.  It's time for another challenge

with AS YOU LIKE IT and this fortnight the theme is Favourite Christmas Colours (and why)

Although I do enjoy venturing into the world of pink and purple Christmas

occasionally, I really prefer the more traditional colours of red, green and beige.

They remind me so much of the seasonal plants we bring indoors to

decorate with, the holly, the ivy, the mistletoe, and they

just make me feel so warm and cosy

I have used

MFT Personal Innocence: Nice List (stamp and die)

Die-Namics: Merry Christmas Circle Frame

and some Dovecrafts Christmas papers from a couple of seasons ago

Image painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

I do hope, now that we are all getting into the swing of the festive cards, that

you will find time to join in the challenge.

Our sponsor for this one is

Prizes: - 3 digi stamps voucher

I really enjoy the MFT Colour Color Challenges because they put together colours that I wouldn't normally combine, and it is good to stretch yourself now and again......

Happy Together

Morning (sorry, afternoon) all.  Well, what a morning!  I had prescription review with the doc at 8.40 in Woodbridge, Toad had dentist in totally the opposite direction on the far side of Ipswich at 9.45, and Rosie had her v.e.t. appointment five mins from home at 11.15.  We are all medic-ed out!

Apart from brief resistance to being bundled into the carrier head-first, and howling all the way to the v.e.t, Her Ladyship was the model of good behaviour today.  Mind you, she did get Dr Dreamy so I can't blame her for just sitting there and gazing at him!

Anyhoo, she is now sprawled out on the floor.  Her vaccinations always leave her a bit dopey for 24 hours so we will go out this afternoon and just leave her to be quiet.

Can someone please explain why I do this to myself?  I love the idea of a colour challenge, but by crikey I don't half have trouble with them!  Over at MFT Card Challenges the Color Challenge # 68 is:

Now, to me, that Lemon Chiffon looks pinkish, but it's name suggests yellow, so yellow I have used.  I've had to wing it and use the nearest colours I had to hand.

I have used

MFT Pure Innocence - Happy Together

Sentiment from the MFT Lots of Hugs set

Die-Namics Stitched Scallop Circle Frame

MFT Farm Fresh Gingham 6x6 pad

and a whole lot of Distress Inks for the stamped flowers

and watercolouring the image

All the linked MFT items were purchased from the Dies To Die For online store

Ok then, Rosie is sleepy and Toad is restless and, despite having a filling done, he wants

to go out for a cuppa and a cake.  Who am I to argue with that?!
