Good morning.
There's a brand new challenge starting at Cardz4Guyz today, our theme is:-
YOUR FAVOURITE 3 COLOURS
I must admit that I found this rather difficult to chose just three colours and in situations like this I look to challenges to inspire me but a few weeks ago when I first started thinking of my card nothing pinged in my head. Anyway, I then had a look at my old designs to see which colours I ACTUALLY do use, a lot of red and blue. This did at least give me an idea and it was further cemented when I came to make this card.
Eventually it was rather a last minute make but as I was getting my thoughts together and settled down for an afternoon's crafting on Sunday, there was lots of talk on the radio about the Sheffield derby. For those not into football (soccer) it's a league match between the 2 biggest Sheffield clubs, Wednesday and United. I'm in the United or red camp, whilst my kids are in the Wednesday or blue side of the city. With all these different threads running through my head I settled on my favourite teams colours of red and white but then after colouring I thought is white even a colour so there were a couple of colours missing, so in a nod to family unity I used this blue frosty background from my stash, making red, blue and brown. Do black and white count, hope not!
My fussy cut and Copic coloured image is from LOTV, Dachshund through the Snow, and the sentiment is Uniko. The finished panel was added with foam pads onto a white base card. Doesn't he look all cosy and warm in his hat, scarf and gloves, even his hound looks tasty warm in his coat and hat!
So what are your favourite colours, we'd love to see your interpretations in our gallery. Pop over to the Cardz4Guyz blog to see what the rest of the team have come up with.

A super cute card and I love the reasoning behind the colour scheme. My Mum came from Bristol and there was household conflict over Bristol City or Bristol Rovers!!
