Good morning and what a beautiful one it is too. Makes such a change from the last two days where I have been soaked through to me undies on each and every school run - not a pretty sight I can assure you !!

Moving away from that awful thought we have another challenge for you on the Colour Create Challenge Blog . This week's colour combo was chosen by the wonderful Janny and she chose red, yellow, black and white and the optional extra is checks and flowers.

Now I don't know why but for the past few challenges the colour combos have been screaming things at me and this time it was black and white checks. I just couldn't think beyond black and white checks !

I made the black and white check background myself by colouring all the squares with a black ProMarker. I did contemplate weaving the background as Sharon did but gave this up as a bad job after a few attempts !

I cut the red and yellow circles on my Cricut and embossed them all with my Cuttlebug and arranged the yellow circles so it looked like a big flower.

The image is Hippie Anya from The Greetings Farm and she has been coloured with ProMarkers.

The flowers are Hero Arts flowers which were originally white until I coloured them with ProMarkers. The brads were also dark blue until I attacked them with a black ProMarker - so useful these pens, can you tell how much I love em ?!!

"Groovy" was computer generated and I cut the letters out and stick them on !

This week's challenge is being sponsored by our one and only wonderful Chris, Sketching Stamper - thank's Chris !

We look forward to seeing your creations for this fortnight's challenge.

Thank you for visiting and for any comments you leave. Have a great day and enjoy the sunshine !
