Helena and Rinda have inspired me to join Kristin’s Summer of Colour,

For the next 6 weeks a new colour combo will be chosen by a vote on the COS blog. This week, week one, the colours are Citron Green and Turquoise.
Not my favourite colours but they are bright and zingy.
Some while ago I subscribed to a magazine and received a jelly roll of fabric in all kinds of colours, none of which really appealed to me, but I put them in my stash and today, low and behold the outside colours on the roll are Citron Green and Turquoise!!

I had a photo of some pin wheels (I posted it for Project 52 here) I added a turquoise solid colour layer twice and blended with the pinwheels at soft light and then difference and loved the result. I played around some more and ended up with this.

My deck chair pictures were next for altering. Now I am not too good at changing the colour of things by using the selection tools, I try but I need more practice. I like the result though.

For some reason the idea of making bunting came into my mind. I have decided to make a triangle each week in the Colour of Summer colours and at the end of the challenge I will string them all together and hang them in the garden.

Having got the fabric and sewing machine out it was simple enough to cut some very small triangles and stitch them onto my ATC card for todays ICAD challenge

I feel very creative and productive today and there is no-one more surprised than me!
Do you ever get days like that?

The Colour of Summer Flickr page has some lovely art and craft in these bright, zingy colours.

Oh! and now I really like these colours…
