It’s been a while since I took part in a crafty challenge but I rather liked this one over at Make The Day Special.
It’s a colour challenge, in fact a choice of 3 colour challenges, all out of my comfort zone. As well as picking a colour option, you have to use a product bought at MTDS.

I thought I’d have a go at 2 of the colour options.

I chose the colour challenge on the left for my first card and used stamps from the Paper Smooches ‘Botanicals 2’ set & sentiment from the Winnie & Walter ‘The Big, The Bold and You’ set

These were the closest colours I could get to using Versacolor pigment inks.

I gave a few of the leaves a bit of extra Va-va-voom with a white Sakura.

Feeling a little braver with a colour challenge, I thought I’d have ago at the middle colour option, this time using Promarkers.
Sheesh…it’s been a while since I used the ol’ girls & I don’t know why but they seemed a bit tired, dare I say ‘dated’. I think I’ve enjoyed working with inks & paints so much just lately that somehow they seem ‘so last year’ (d’ya get my drift?)
Anyway, I digress.
This floral stamp set is from Altenew, again from MTDS.
I had planned on tackling the 3rd colour option but I went down with a flu virus, so ran out of time but I might have a go at that another day for my own personal challenge.
Catch yer next time ![Smile](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8AJ2bVrF-ALvY9zp07pw9NSvO4UfjmVu6IucFA8W2JK9Wp_LBsiMjNK2kUPMop7X3la_kpq4e4zTmD38n2hXFJRNm4S0K1n_dqG56Z1aZlgqWcF1lHIw-4IMNJR9gseRzjsDq5EVVShI/?imgmax=800)
