As the title suggests I have been playing with colour for todays card.
I stared by spiriting a background using the mer du sud and Ocean Izink dye Sprays ( i love the soft chola like finish of these and the fast drying its like being skilled at inking!!) I cut the background and mounted this on black.
For the strip I used the sprays and a blending tool to blend the two colours together before overstepping with black versafine and my Feathers clear stamp set. I mounted this in black and added it down the left hand side of the card.
I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of the background card and cut this out with my With Love tag dies et before adding some flowers and a couple of real peacock fathers.
Enjoy...
Good Morning John. Loving the colours
