I chose this photograph for inspiration as it is such fun! If you're concerned about my colour matching skills, I picked out the green from the uprights on the seats on the camels' backs ;) That line of camels looks like it just goes on forever!
I've been using bits of lace in my work recently, and on my recent workshop at Paddy's Stamping Place, Paddy brought out some green lace which she called a 'horrific' colour, and suggested we try colouring it with the walnut ink crystals we were using at the time. The results were very yummy :)
I added more green with snippets of paper, and some little gems. I used espresso Adirondack colourwash, and the stamped image is by Basic Grey and available from The Stamp Attic.
Have fun with these colours :) I did, and will definitely be using them again. And don't forget to see what yumminess the rest of the Play Date Cafe team came up with :)
