This is the Colour Challenge for this week on Play Date Café Challenge.

PDCC38

Here’s my effort.

pdc lavender lime

I made the background by spritzing glossy card with water, then dripping on Brilliance reinkers in Pearlescent Lime and Pearlescent Purple and spritzing again.  That’s a Bubble wrap impression in the corners, although the Adirondack Citrus looks yellow, for some reason…   Some of the circles are coloured with  a purple Jelly Glaze pen and I added three little gems for a bit of bling.
