Colour Combos Galore #197

Well I can't believe I have now done 3 weeks of colour combos in a row...quite proud of myself, seeing as tho its been another busy month for me here at home.

This week the colour palette really got me out of my comfort zone....I will show you what I mean.

Now I don't normally scrap with pink, let alone pink and red together but I think with the black and cream it makes another stunning colour combination...try it sometime, you will be surprised!  Also the designer challenge was to create a project by digitally enhancing the photo by adding a digital frame, text or flourish or any other design...I am not sure if you can see but I digitally added 2 little pinky/red flowers to Finlay's hand.

You are my world....




Another gorgeous handmade flower from Charms Creations.


I have a new addiction...when will it ever stop! Tom Holtz Perfect Pearls mists!!!! They are totally gorgeous! This one is  "Forever Red" but against the cream cardstock it turned out a pink which I was more than happy with :))))


I also took inspiration from the bike wheel in the inspiration picture to create this "circle" layout.  The black circles are Scrapware chippie which I just painted black.


Hope you are having a fab week!
Thanks to everyone's encouraging comments, you always bring a smile to my face :))))
