CHNC challenge 307: colour: coral ... a little or a lot


A wonderful response to the challenge yet again last week - thank you so much for sharing your festive designs. I hope you will join in this week's challenge ... not an easy colour really ... coral ... I didn't find it easy and looked up the definition ... coral can be a pinky orange or a red orange ... I think with this colour there needs to be a bit of leeway, so anything orange, red, pink will do!

Please note that I publish the prize winners here and on our facebook page, but don't notify winners individually - it is up to you all to check to see if you have won and email me as requested. There are one or two unclaimed prizes, so it's worth having a look back to see if you were a winner.

Please note that my email to send to is craftyhazelnut@gmail.com

Challenge 307:

This week there are four opportunities to win a prize as usual, winners will be chosen randomly. I do hope we will get a lot of entries this week to encourage these wonderful sponsors.

The first sponsor is new to CHNC: Doodle Pantry:

'Doodle Pantry takes pride in creating a diverse selection of doodling styles, like realistic or whimsical, and all of which are family and kid friendly illustrations. We hope you enjoy our wide variety of styles for every family occasion!'

The randomly chosen winner will receive a coupon to be used at the Doodle Pantry online shop. If the winner lives in the EU, the prize is three products (3.50 or less) of their choice. If the winner lives in the US, S America, Australia, East Asia, Canada, Mexico, Africa or other NON-European Union country, the prize is a $10 coupon to use at the Doodle Pantry shop.

For my card I used Doodle Pantry's birdie Christmas kindly supplied by them as one of this week's sponsors. I used a digital paper by Lozzy called reach the stars - you can find this and other delightful papers by Lozzy here. You will see that I found it hard to  depict 'coral' - when printed out I mounted onto a card blank covered with a piece of My Mind's Eye Asbury heights paper. You can read about this card on My Crafty Outlook here.

Please visit Doodle Pantry's blog here to see the beautiful designs made by members of their team advertising my CHNC challenge 307 for this week. Thank you Doodle Pantry.

Unfortunately, the photo doesn't pick up the green writing very well ... it says 'Decorating the tree with CARE'.


Now it's over to you. As usual, you can use any materials, any techniques - and this week you can make and share anything as long as your have used some coral ... a little or a lot (I realise that the colour coral isn't an easy one, so will accept anything that is 'sort of in the coral range'!

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge - please add a link to your blog post (not your blog, but the actual post where your creation can be found) by 22:00 UK time Friday 18 November 2016. Please include a link to this blogpost within the post for your creation.

You can enter as many times as you wish and also link to any other challenges that allow you to do so, but new work only, please.
