After seeing so many of the blogs i follow taking part in this challenge thought it was time to pay them a visit and see what the excitement was about.
Over at Twinkle Twinkle Like A Star blog page i found this page which gives you all the information you need if you wish to participate in
The colours this week are
Aqua Blue & Yellow
With a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Hot Pink.
Seeing as i am not a lover of either yellow or pink this challenge is good for me as it will make me use colours i find difficult.
Used a book page as the background to the journal page, Portfolio Pastels to create the circles and dots, a Uni Pin pen to highlight areas, Rainbow Glaze to add a little dimension to the pink circles and the pink flower.
Love Posca Pens, their colours are so vibrant yet can be watered down to produce a lovely wash, here i chose to use them as they come out of the pen, the yellow on the dots is very bright.
Used Andy Skinner stencil Hippy chick and turquoise shade Pan Pastels to add the female shape,a black glitter frame to show off the flower and some hot pink washi tape which was given to my by the lovely Keren Baker,thank you Keren!
Hoping you like this entry into Week One of this fabulous challenge, hope to see you there sometime.
Thanks for dropping by.

the colours work brilliantly, Annette x
ReplyDeleteJust lovely. Love the contrast of pattern, colour and text. It's hard to use colours that you're not comfy with -but you've done such a gorgeous job. The washi tape looks awesome 😉 x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, and I hope to play soon too!!
ReplyDeleteWow this is fab really like how you have used the colours was thinking I need to do this as well now convinced. Love it xx
ReplyDeleteCool project, great use of the colours.
ReplyDeleteI love all sorts of things about this, the bookpaper background and the lovely play with shapes and elements. great entry especially as you didn't find the colours easy.
ReplyDeleteThis is really attractive, Paper rainbow above has said it all. Yes, it is good to sometimes try out new colour schemes. I liked reading about your use of the art materials too.
ReplyDeletePerfect. Totally perfect! :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea! I love the pages you created using the SOC colors!
ReplyDeleteWow! These are not the colours I would have chosen either, but you did a great job. These pages look terrific. I have to keep looking back at them! Julie Ann xxx
ReplyDeleteNicely done - I like that you used an old book page for your substrate!
ReplyDeleteLove the you used a book page for your piece! The text showing thru adds great depth.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the descriptions of the processes everyone uses to make their mixed media art pieces. So creative! This one is charming.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous page with lots of lovely layers & fab colours.
ReplyDeleteYou rose to the challenge of colours that aren't your favourite beautifully :)
ReplyDeleteI've been stepping out of my colour comfort zones lately, but jeepers, I think I'd find this combination impossible. (In fact, when I do step outside, I seem to stay in monochrome with whatever colour I've picked - it's the combinations I find hard, I think.)
ReplyDeleteBut I love what you've done here... the book page background, dots of colour (especially with the dimensional glaze - very cool), and the turquoise figure is lovely.

Looks great on top of that text!
ReplyDeleteooo these are such lovely flowers!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what the glaze was on the pink dots and I'm so glad you told us what you used! A lovely composition this is! Can't wait to see next weeks!
ReplyDeleteHuGGs!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the use of the book page
ReplyDeleteBook pages are the BEST and your art on one makes it even better. This is truly lovely. For those not being your favorite colors, you did a fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteI like the book page for the background. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit earlier, I know Daisy, she is now not so well though and in the same retirement home as my mother. Her daughter Pamela paints now and so the little croft studio near Dunvegan is still open to visitors. hope you like the new SOC colours, they are much more my thing! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper entries for SOC1, think I must be a week behind in my comments - LOL BJ
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I missed this last week. I'm not fond of pink, either, but it is good to be challenged to use colors we wouldn't normally choose ourselves. I think I will try some of this Posca pens ---always looking for something different to try.
