SMILE

Well I can definitely say my card today has colours I wouldn't normally use or put together - but they were chosen as this week's challenge at The Paper Players -and after all isn't that what challenges are all about.  I have lots of different coloured card stock, inks and ribbons that hardly get used so its good to challenge yourself, especially out of your usual colours.





These are lovely colours though and the image is so inspiring, but sadly I didn't have any stamps that looked like lavender so I went with Colourful Seasons.  I didn't actually have Wisteria Wonder ink but substituted it for an old SU colour Almost Amethyst which is very similar.

I used my water brush to soften the colours and used Elegant Eggplant top and bottom with the Almost Amethyst in the middle.  The deckchair was inked in Early Espresso and Tranquil Tide as was the sentiment.  A popped up flower with some purple embellishments was added.  I layered it onto Tranquil Tide and then Wisteria Wonder card stock which I did have.  I finished it off with some Tranquil Tide ribbon and a wash of Wink of Stella - just to make it sparkle.

I think these colours give this more of an autumnal feel for this deckchair rather than summer.
