Helena<\/a> and Rinda<\/a> have inspired me to join Kristin’s Summer of Colour<\/a>, <\/p>\n

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.
\nNot my favourite colours but they are<\/em> bright and zingy.
\nSome 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!!<\/p>\n

I had a photo of some pin wheels (I posted it for Project 52 here<\/a>) 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

I feel very creative and productive today and there is no-one more surprised than me!
\nDo you ever get days like that?<\/p>\n

The Colour of Summer Flickr<\/a> page has some lovely art and craft in these bright, zingy colours. <\/p>\n

Oh! and now I really like these colours…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
