'Colour horribilis' challenge

Indeed, what a 'horrible' combination. Can't believe I did this voluntarily and without getting paid for or bribed ;)

Ok, here is the story: I misted the watercolor paper with Ranger Reinkers *Mustard Seed* and *Faded Jeans*. The stamp is from Waltzing Mouse Stamps, the sentiment from Autumn Leaves.


This is the weekly Play Date Café Challenge

  4. Good use of the colours for the challenge. A bit off-putting when you see the list of colours but you have used them fabulously.

  6. What just cracks me up about this color combo is that we were all shocked, but the end result looks SO artsy and intentional! Your work is WONDERFUL! Love the background that you created ~ this is some SERIOUSLY lovely work! Thanks for not shying away from the challenge and making the PDCC colors look absolutely HAPPY together!
