May Colour Palette

Welcome to our May challenge. 

This month, we have a wonderful colour palette for you!  You can add a bit of white or black if you need to, but these colours need to dominate your page.




Sharon Bishop
Sharon used wood grain for her background and mainly blues and browns from the selected colours to create this gorgeous, fun page! 

Julene Matthews
Julene has created a brighter take with the moodboard colours to create this wonderful page.

Jane Howden
These colours and the woodgrain panels inspired me to create a heritage page. I also incorporated two little birds as an ode to the patterned paper in the moodboard.

Donna O'Connell
I've used the majority of the colours here with a touch of florals.
A fun day in the city (Sydney) for Father's Day 2023

Donna Cope
This range from Cocoa Vanilla was perfect with the soft blues and greens, with a pop of yellow!
