The Summer of Colour # 5 BROWN

Can you believe it ?

We are half way through this wonderful challenge !

and it's now ....

BROWN

week over at

Kristin's 'Summer of Colour Challenge'

Now, after last weeks big struggle with Yellow...

 ...this is a good week for me,

 'cos I love creating with shades of  'Brown'

-oOo-

some Brown pages for my journal...

I've used, vintage music papers, paints, inks, Water-soluble wax pastels and pencils.

The  Bonus Challenge is to incorporate a bold shot of colour into your work,

Now, I'm not sure if this is going to be bold enough to count?
believe it or not...

 my girls lips are brighter pink in real life,

 but the lighting here is sooo dark and dull at the mo !!
I just couldn't capture the true colouring.
You wouldn't believe we were in the middle of Summer here !

...and it was also my lovely S-I-L's birthday last week,

so this challenge inspired me to make her birthday card with 'browns'

-oOo-

I am really enjoying this colour journey, so much beautiful colour inspiration out there in Blogland!
THANK YOU again Kristin for the challenge
....and to all my lovely commenters
your kind words are so encouraging :)

...and next weeks colour is RED

Thanks for Looking !

 Where love and loyal homage shine,

 And wonder where the difference lies

 Between your soul and mine!'
