Color Hues Challenge #81 - Lilac & Mint - Celebrate (Alex Syberia Candles and Pandas)

Hello, 

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #81, where our lovely hostess, Stef, invites us to play with hues of Lilac and Mint for the next two weeks. Such a pretty combination, right!

We're delighted to have Bonnie joining us as our Guest Designer.

My Alex Syberia candles and pandas are making their debut with this challenge. The candles are whimsically fun; the pandas, absolutely adorable! First time use, so I went with a slimline; haven't made one of those in a while. My inks are assorted companies' shades of mint and lilac; the balloons and hats, colour with Copics that, according to my 'research' are supposed to be mint and lilac. I was a bit heavy handed with the darker colours of the trios but...they're still hues of the combination (or so I hope!).


How will Lilac and Mint inspire you?

The challenge will remain open until February 28th at 9 am!

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer!

Thank you for dropping by!
