August Colour Challenge ...

Hello and welcome to our August Colour Challenge. This month we want to see what you create using the colours pink, lilac, blue, green and tangerine

We have a gorgeous inspiration photograph to help kick start your creativity and of course some fabulous creations from our Design Team

Our lovely friends from Lili Of The Valley are once again giving our winner a £10 voucher to spend in their online store - there is a new launch of Christmas stamps coming out this week so perfect timing for someone to win a voucher to spend!

Ribbon Girl are also giving our winner a beautiful yellow ribbon kit

-----------------------------------------

Our rules are very simple - create a new project using the challenge colours, blog about it mentioning this challenge then come back and link us to your project using the InLinkz button at the bottom of this post. Please be fair to the other entrants and don't backlink to old projects, this is meant to be fun for everyone!
