Blue and brown right down to the finger tips

Our lovely Jo is our host this week and is challenging us to use colours beginning with the letter 'B' on our artwork. Our sponsors are Yours and Mine Papercrafts and A Passion for Stamps.

Also a little reminder about my 5th Blogaversary celebrations, if you don't know about it check out the post here, lots of Spellbinders to be won.

Naturally brown and blue came immediately to mind for my first card for Jo's theme, I love the colour combo that much that I had my nails that colour this time....................my fortnightly manicure is my little treat and I have indulged in quite a few colour combos recently, I rather liked the graduated pink and purple with a bit of sparkle of course, then there were the Christmas snowflakes.......hmmmmmm choices.

Anyhow, on to my card which is a mixture of Sheena, Stampscape and Lavinia stamps all stamped with archival ink and then of course Pan Pastels for the colouring.

And the nails...........pretend you didn't see those short stumpy fingers, like me they are vertically challenged but the nails are all my own !

And a second card using Ruth's Clarkia image coloured with watercolours pencils and matted onto some Spellbinder.................and this is B for Burgundy.

Whatever you are up to this weekend I hope it's a good one.
