The colour challenge this week over at The Play Date Cafe is grass green, gold and silver.
I love gold and green together but I don't think I have ever used gold and silver together but there is always a first time and here it is. I punched two hearts from watercolour paper and painted them with Stewart Gill paints Secret Garden and Bright Gold. Once dry I added leafing flakes in gold and silver.
The picture above is our inspiration photo for this week and I love it, I love the shimmer from the water and the wonderful rich colours of the green and gold.
The paper I have used this time around is from BoBunny, Flutter Butter Willow and I have used both sides. To complete my creation I have added some gold hearts and a gold bow to give the card some dimension along with a love sentiment from Outlines. Until the next time, Tracy x x
