The Challenge is Colour!

This week's challenge at The Challenge (hehe) is full of colour!  Greens and blues and yellows oh my!


I decided to get out my watercolour paints and one of Suzy's Watercolor Doodles ready-to-watercolour images and PLAY! - I find it very relaxing to putter about with paints - I am no good freehand - nope......but give me an image and I'm all over it!



I used my Gansai Tambi Watercolor set - I love the brilliant colour and yet you can tone them down so easily to make a background wash....

After adding the colour to this fabulous image, I went back over again with a darker shade and added some highlights (lowlights?) to make them pop.



Then I decided to throw in some sweet little YNS gumdrops - they have all sorts of fabulous colours - yay!



Take a boo over at The Challenge and link up with these gorgeous colours!!
