KWerner Colour Challenge #57

I was so excited to see a new colour challenge up on Kristina's blog this week, and the inspiration fabrics were just so divine that I had to play along. This is also the first project off my new desk (more about that in a later post).

I was very inspired by everything in this challenge - not just the gorgeous colour combo, but also the fabulous patterns that appear on the fabrics. I tried to emulate the fabrics by stamping my own patterned paper using the Circle Circus stamp set. The main image was watercoloured using my inkpads and an aquapainter. Please excuse the poor photo - we have run out of daylight here.
