Pastels or Brights at AYLI

 
Pastels or Brights is your quest at


I tend to lean towards brights. I have definitely mentioned it before but back in the 80's I joined a group of colleagues from work in having my "colours done". Winter I was, apparently the only season able to wear black successfully, with a touch of Autumn thrown in for good measure. . Anyway, I digress, my colour palette included bright clear colours and, to this day, I still carry my swatches (on the rare occasion when I am looking for anything other than riding gear!!) when clothes shopping. So in a long winded round about way, that is why I choose brights!!

If you are still with me, here is my card


The gorgeous paper (The Range) was the starting point, I just love those bright yellows and blues. I found a stamp in my stash that was an Allsorts win and, using my Stamp Perfect, inked direct to the stamp to achieve the watercoloured look I was after. 

I hope you will take inspiration and join us.

See you again on Saturday xx
