AAA Birthday challenge #54 - favourite colours

Good morning lovely friends; it's a busy posting day for me today as I have 2 cards to share with you.  For my first post I'm here with my DT card for this month's AAA Birthday challenge and this month our hostess is Sue and she has chosen the theme 'favourite colours'.  Our guest designer this month is Izzy so please pop over to her blog and give her some love.  

For the first 2 weeks of the month we are joining forces with our sister challenge AAA cards whose theme is 'inkblending with 3 or more colours'.  If you take part in both our challenges (with 2 separate cards) you could be in with a chance of winning a prize; please check the blog for all the details.  Please remember theirs is a clean and simple challenge and it can be for any occasion.  

Now I know it's a bit of a cop-out but I love all colours and I don't really have a favourite so I went for 'rainbow' as my favourite colours.  I did follow the theme for the AAA cards theme but I'm not sure if my card is really CAS enough for their challenge.  Here is my card:

a closer look at my cute image:

I also decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the cute bear and coloured him with Promarkers.  I fussy cut him out and put him to one side.  I decided to make a circle card for a change and dug out a die set that I bought from a craft destash group on FB and hadn't used yet and cut my card base with the largest die in the set.  I also die cut the same size circle from white card and ink blended my rainbow of colours around the edge.  I then used a smaller circle and a decorative edge circle to cut out the panel for my image to stand on, again from white card.  I stamped a small sentiment at the bottom of the white circle and added the bear above with foam squares.  3 rainbow pearls and my card was complete.  For the inside I stamped the image with a light grey ink towards the bottom of the circle and added a small sentiment over it with black ink so that it stands out over the grey.  The card size is 5" x 5" in diameter.  

Please pop over to the challenge blog and check out the wonderful creations by the rest of the DT; you will not be disappointed.  If you can please go over to the AAA Cards blog and check out their DT creations too.
