The diva challenge #225

So the diva is taking a break over the summer and has guest bloggers issuing a challenge. This week it's the turn of Jen  crutchfield czt and her challenge is to use  only 2 or 3 colours in maybe an unusual combo. So I've sat down and drawn whatever came out from top to bottom blooming butter
Printemps
Narwhal
Quandry
And then I sat looking at my polychomos pencils and chose 2 - colbalt green and geranium lake. I love playing with them and getting different shades from the same pencils. Very happy with my tile ( even the crazy narwhal) :)

  2. I like this one. I've seen blooming butter before but have yet to use it myself. That will have to change. Thank you for the inspiration!

  9. Joanne, it's hard to believe you only used two different color pencils. You definitely achieved a nice range of tones from them. I especially like the flower tangles at the top.
