STUFF 2 SCRAP CHALLENGE

over at STUFF 2 SCRAP the challenge for August is very different from my usual colour scheme, but thought I would give it a go !!!!!????

• SUGAR RUSH PINK
• TROPICAL WATER BLUE
• SPAGHETTI WESTERN RED
• PANDA EYES BLACK
• SOFT SERVE WHITE

Plus a bit of chipboard on your creation!

my chipboard is KAISERCRAFT printed chipboard ..
the sweet little flowers and frame.

The beautiful butterfly is from IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS


This has been quite challenging for me as I rarely use brights and never so many different colours together ...I struggled adding the red, just a tiny piece at the top left hand side !!!
I surprised myself as I really enjoyed creating with brights for a change ..
I love to expand my comfort zone.
the colours are much brighter in real life ??? for some reason they have come up lighter on the computer ???? funny about that !!! LOL






thanks for dropping by my blog where I share my creations ..
you are all so wonderful for taking the time to leave me some louvvveee,
your comments make my day...
love and hugz, Heather x
