This Groovy Chick Sent Me Dotty

I saw on Play Date Cafe that the Challenge had once again been set by my friend Sarah.  Had problems with her last choice of colours and this one made me go "OMG".  Hot pink, Mustard yellow and Navy blue!  Then the light went on and I thought of this stamp I had had for ages.


Out came the Caran D'Ache - yes, the colours were in my set, a rummage through cardstock - yes, got the colours - and here it is.  My entry for the PDC this week.  I actually like the mix.  Missed last week's because I deliberated too long and I loved the colours (sorry Julie) but could not think how to use them.  Glad I managed to join in again this week.

The funny thing is I was making some beads yesterday (way not finished) and these are the colours I was working with - now to dig out a mustard yellow - actually I am making lots of different colours - want a summer necklace to brighten myself up with this horrid weather.



The colours on the card do not seem true to what they really are in the photograph - honestly they are the right colours.  The "Dotty" bit in the heading is because this morning my eyes seemed to refuse to focus - painting those lines drove me dotty.

Wonderful card Neet, very bright and funky. You've done a brilliant job with the colours. I couldn't work with them at all. Love the beads. Now blues & red-violets do go perfectly well together. And i'm all for colouring up your life esp as Summer is drawing closer to the end. Pxx

I'm glad the light went on for someone with these colours LOL, I had a nightmare with the hot pink, got there in the end but it wasn't easy. Love your gorgeous vibrant creation, and you definitely worked these odd colours to your advantage. Have a great evening, Tracy x
