The Play Date Cafe Challenge PDCC106

This weeks colours over at
are...

Gray...Yellow...Pink


I'm really enjoying the colour challenges and fab inspiration over at The Play Date Cafe....
Anyway, here is my take on this challenge...
 Not only, was I inspired by these wonderful colours..
 ..but also the little button badge with the 'fun' lemon quote, it made me think of the original one...
'When life gives you lemons...
Make lemonade'.
I sketched one of my faces in my journal
and used water colour pencils, promarkers and gesso.

 
Stamped the quote with Alpha stamps using a grey promarker.
...and the circles are stamped with (Holiday Baubles stamp by Hero Arts)  with Gesso and tinted with watercolour pencils.

The lemons are an image cut from a magazine and gesso'd to lighten them up and to make them blend in more with my pages.
Well life is giving me lemons at the moment!!...
...So off to make some lemonade !!! LOL
Thanks for stopping by
