CI#72 A gorgeous colour combo for watercolouring.

Hello again for another colour challenge with Colour INKspiration.

#72

I wasn't sure about these colours but I have to say they have been a wonderful combination to play with.. I started by watercolouring a whole sheet of the brilliant Fluid 100 watercolour paper with the 2 orange tones, and it dried substantially paler than when I first applied the ink. 

So soft and pretty, with lots of variations across the sheet. I heat embossed a number of images to fill the sheet- white poppies, and gold pens. The metallic was inspired by all the shimmer in the sequins. Then I cut them all out a set to work decorating a stack of cards. For the Bermuda Bay background I simply used the printed DSP which is one of the free Sale A Bration items available with a $90 purchase. I love the texture and variation in these papers. I stamped over it using Pretty Peacock.

Here's my leftover sheet- can you guess which flowers these are?

 The sentiment is from Butterfly Gala, the pens and the super cute Paper Binder are from It starts with Art. I do love  a square card, and these will be in Our Shop when it opens again next week. I often emboss the flap of the envelope to finish off the project.

 I alos thought the Petal Pink paper from the Parisian collection worked well with these tones.

Don't forget to have a go with these colours and share your photo on our Facebook page.

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,

 post something pretty!"
