SCO4 - week 4

Don't know where the week's gone this week - well I do, lol, it's World Cup and Wimbledon again... anyhow, Monday saw the fourth colour prompt announced by Kristin for Summer of Colour 

These are this week's colours  -



Pink and Apple Green with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Dark Green . I was laughing with pinkly-challenged twitter/blog buddy Sam that it would have to be flowers... so here we go!

I decided to work in my small Moleskine notebook again.

 I coloured my page with the bright green Portfoleo pastel and blended it with a damp babywipe, then added some more colour and wiped it with a paper towel before heat setting it.

I stamped the JoFY flowers (MN34) all the way round the page as a border,

  then coloured the flowers with a watercolour pencil and a waterbrush.

I used two shades of pink, although it doesn't look like it here, the light is awful for photos tonight - the darker flowers are just where I blotted less to dry the water!

I then used a dark green pencil for the dots between the flowers...






When I was trying to find somewhere with enough natural light to take the first photo, I looked out of my bedroom window and saw these great clouds - nothing to do with the Summer of Colour, but I loved the shapes, so have to share them!

this is zoomed in on the brightest part of the cloud in the first shot.
Anyhow, I'm entering my journal page, to the Summer of Colour here !!
