Just Us Girls Challenge #598~Colour Week...Sending Sunshine and Rainbows

 Hello,

I'm delighted to be your hostess for Just Us Girls Challenge #598. We're experiencing cooler temperatures and shorter days here in Alberta; signs that Autumn is on the horizon. Before we embrace Fall colours (and clothes...bring out the warm sweaters and leggings), let's hang on to Summer a bit longer, by playing with a Yellow, Green and Pink palette this week. Feel free to use bright shades or pastels of these three colours - and anything in between! 


Once again, we're delighted to welcome Claire Apostoloff as our August guest designer; once again, she's dazzling us with her creativity! 

My Concord and 9th rainbow sets were calling for some attention, so I happily listened. I love that the arcs are separate pieces and so easy to stack/assemble. Hard to see in the photo, but I changed up the height of each one, inspired by a recent Jennifer M video I watched: four for the deeper pink, one for yellow, three for green and two for the the light pink. She's right: it does make a difference! 


That's it from me; looking forward to seeing how yellow, pink and green inspire you!

Thank you for dropping by!

I must have missed that video but I do love how it looks on your rainbow, Carol. I have a die set with separate sections so I'm going to try this when I get home, if I remember. ;) I love the little hearts on the clouds too.
