I spotted the Summer of Colour challenge on Mandy's blog and although it is into week 3, I wanted to give it a go and perhaps go back and do week's 1 & 2 later. So I decided to do a large tag with this week's colours purple + purple + yellow. Purple is not a colour I use much of at all so it certainly was a challenge.
So I went with a purple paint, a lighter shade of purple in a watercolour pencil and a light yellow.
and my tag......... I spread the paint over the manilla tag and also on a scrap of white cardstock which I used for the banner across the top and the colours look so different.


Nice tag and lovely quote :-)

ReplyDeleteThe tag is precious. I like the bird, too. I had trouble with my SOC colors photographing well. Seems purple must be a hard color to photograph properly. Still, your tag turned out great.
