For our first week,
Kristin at
Twinkle Twinkle asked us to made something using the colors citron green and turquoise. Originally I planned to dye some fabric, but I didn't have the right color dyes to mix to make citron green. Instead, I went with "Plan B."
I started with some of my handmade shimmery color mists, along with one purchased color mist. Before I got very far along, I had spilled the Tattered Angels color mist all over my desk. I ended up mopping it up with lots of card stock. Such a shame, since this stuff cost about 70 times what my handmade mists cost. In the end,
I came up with this abstract piece. I used handmade paper, baby wipes, card stock I colored, as well as lime/citron green and turquoise card stock. Guess what happens when you mix turquoise color mist with lime/citron green card stock! Yep, you get bright green.
I had this finished Tuesday, but had so many other blogs I needed to visit, I didn't add this till now. I hope it meets Kristin's expectations. The colors look a little off in the scan, but I'm sure they are much better than anything my puny camera could produce.
And please don't forget to visit others participating in
Kristin's Summer of Color challenge.

Great testure and your design is awesome. Of course, the colors too.:)
That is so upsetting when that happens but you have made a great design despite all the aggravation.
Gorgeous!!
Luscious color, color color!!!!!!!!
A happy accident that spill. It looks great!
brilliant! Leave it to you to wipe up the spill with card stock!
You certainly know how to make the best of an accident. Great colors and designs on all your pages.
Lovely! What a great first week of SOC. :)
Oh my goodness, of course! This is beautiful! I love the bright green that resulted from the mixture and although so sad that you had a spill (why is it always the expensive stuff?) I think you have stunning abstract results perhaps because of it. Thank you for playing along and sharing it with us, xoxo
OMGosh! This is so pretty, love the colors

Lovely textures in all those different papers.
The colors are bright and beautiful on my monitor. I hate to hear about your spill but am delighted (and not surprised) to hear how you dealt with it.

Lovely piece Elizabeth, shame about the mist. I did the same with a Dylusions spray a while back. BJ SOC#2
Wow, a vibrant and zingy piece of work - I love it! It's always the expensive one that spills isn't it - I did that the other day with dylusions and soaked the edges of all the pages in a new sketch book - so annoying!
wow,wow,wow!! This is just fabulous!!!
The colors look brilliant and really stand out with all the texture in this piece. Sorry to hear about the spill, but I am sure you wasted not a drop!
Hope you get some relief from the heat soon!
This is wonderful!
I like how it turned out--sometimes those little accidents end up really wonderful. :)
I love the colors - it looks so summery and fresh!

Hello! Just visiting via Jez's blog. I love the colours and the shapes on this. Accidents can have brilliant consequences and this was one of those wonderful creative 'accidents' - sorry it meant you wasted valuable stuff. I'm beginning to think more and more that making your own materials where possible is a good idea. Julie Ann xxx
I love the way it turned out! I may have to start spilling my spray inks!
I love this. Such juicy use of colour. :)
Love all those floating, happy shapes and colours.
Very pretty Elizabeth! I saw your name on the challenge and had to stop by!
