They are not colours I would normally put together so this was a real challenge for me! The only thing I was comfortable using them with was a floral bouquet. The dessert option (just for fun) is NBUS (Never Before Used Stamp) - I had a perfect never used flower stamp!
I used the closest colours in my Zig Clean Brush
markers. I inked up each colour one at a time in the MISTI, spritzed very
lightly with water, and stamped onto mixed media cs.
When dry, I added a bit more definition with the Zigs and coloured pencils, sponged lightly around the edges in blue, added a white embossed sentiment on a banner of black cs, and popped it up on fun foam.

I'll be back next week with my third SCS Color Challenge DT card.
