Summer or Winter Colours at AYLI

I may have mentioned before that back in the 80's (when I wore shoulder pads and high heels!!) a group of us from work had our " Colours Done" by a very flambouyant ambassador for Colour Me Beautiful called Marilyn. With my dark hair, eyes and skin I was  "Winter" and to this day still use my little swatches when shopping for clothes. Interestingly those colours are the ones I also favour in my card making. 

So, after all that intro the new challenge at


is Summer or Winter Colours and remember to tell us why.

Here is my card using icy coolWinter colours...closed



and ta-dah...open!!



It's been a while since I have been creative with cards so decided on this pull up slider. The papers are from Crafters Companion, as are the sprig dies in the corner. Again, I should have made multiples of this card...why do I always think of it after I have put everything away!!??

That's all for now xx

Oh I remember those well Sarah and had my fair share, would probably break my neck if I tried to walk in the now. What a super shape with the pull slider and am liking the cool tones of blues and silver.

A fun card fold Sarah. I've only ever made one of these and that was a long time ago, would have to look up a tutorial now to be able to make one. They have such a wow factor for the recipient and this looks gorgeous in the cool Winter colours.

Again, a smash hit! I love the slider and agree, that more of this type card should be made, it's just so fun. Your colors are gorgeous! I had my colors done way back when also (probably wore that same shoes too)...I have (had) auburn hair and blue eyes and was an autumn...I think my silvering hair has changed that tho :).

Oh that is SO styley and elegant. I LOVE this Sarah! Gorgeous paper and that easel design revealing the sentiment is just brilliant! I can so imagine you in 80's shoulder pads and heels Sarah! How lovely that the colour consultation so resonated that you've used it ever since! I'd love to know what I am. I'm drawn to Autumn colours, they're my favourite, always have been and think I suit them too, so maybe that's a hint?! Hehe. Have a great weekend hun. Hugs, Wends xoxo
