Do You Have a Favourite Colour?

After my months choice of "Favourites" I really thought it would be easy but now I realise it is not.  My favourite colour changes with my mood.  What is my favourite colour to wear is is nothing like my favourite colour to craft with.   Oh dear, I am so sorry if I have given you all a dilemma.

Thanks to all those of you who entered last week but can I just say that some of you did not say which was your favourite stamp which makes life difficult if you have used more than one.  It does help us if you give us little hints - please ... pretty please.

Anyway, for my Christmas Cards I do like "blue" so here is my effort this week.


I say "effort" because I was feeling quite rotten with a head cold and sore throat when I had to make it to allow Zoe time to add it to the challenge site.  Zoe would be the first to tell me not to bother but I feel I should make the effort to do something so here it is.

I coloured some white cardstock with a couple of blue Distress Inks and then stamped this Aspects of Design stamp over it.  Took some core card in another shade of blue and put it through the CB with an embossing folder.  Sanded it to bring out the design and attached the stamped card with brads.  As you can see there were two other layers - all different blues.

Hopefully this cold will not be with me too long and I can spend more time preparing next week's challenge - now I wonder what "favourite" it can be?  Hope to see lots of you with entries - thanks in advance.  Remember, if you use more than once colour do say which is your favourite and try to make it the dominant one please.

BTW as a point of interest tomorrow at eleven seconds after eleven minutes after eleven o'clock the time and date will be all the elevens.

Wonderful card Neet, it's so elegantly charming. Blue & pale are my favourite combos in Christmas cards. I prefer wintry scenes over the usual red & green style. The embossed snowflakes look fantastic on your card. Px

Lovely card Neet. Can I order 50 please? hee hee!
I too change my choice of colour with seasons, the weather, moods, etc., but as you know, I'm very purple just now!
There was a little girl in our local paper who was born at 11.11am on 11.11.00 so she will be 11 at 11.11am tomorrow 11.11.11 !! Amazing?
Love Jo x
