A new month; a new challenge. For the next two weeks, my amazing DT (and a special welcome back to Yvonne!), along with our incredibly talented guest designer, TaeEun, invite you to join us at Inkspirational Challenge #108~Colour Challenge
Mint & Navy...Mint & Navy...I confess to initial cluelessness with this combination. Then my new Winged Things set (Bee's Knees, STAMPlorations) caught my eye and this happened...
Dragonflies, coloured with Polychromos navy and light green pencils, stenciling (Cracked Pistachio), a coat of Wink of Stella on the wings...Voila. In fact, I liked the result so much, I made another, slightly different, which you'll see in an upcoming post.
Turning the challenge your direction!
How will Mint & Navy inspire you?
Looking forward to finding out when I visit the gallery! See you there!
