The challenge is to use two opposites on the colour wheel:
My other card used a favourite colour combination, so I decided to go with a combination that I would not use normally for another card. It is not a combination I like, and I'm not sure I'll use it again!!
The little orange kitten looked so sad when I'd drawn him that I thought the sentiment was perfect: Without you,it is so sad. Again this is handwritten ~ I'm lucky enough to have fairly good handwriting, so I tend not to buy sentiment stamps. It does mean that my notebook full of French sentiments gathered from various places is quite precious! I don't want to lose that!
The colour combination of orange-and-blue really isn't my cup of tea (unlike that delicious lime/black combination a few weeks back!) but I'm glad I tried it.
I spent the morning working on the balcony ~ when we had the new door fitted, Mr D piled all the pots etc up at one end, to make it clear for the workman. On Thursday I bought several plants in the market, and this morning I tidied up the balcony. I need to buy some more compost, to plant my courgette plants, but I've put out three tomato plants, as well as some flowers too. The balcony catches the sun from early morning to about three o'clock ~ I enjoy having leisurely breakfasts out there and lunch too. Cathy came down and we sat out with a long white-wine-and-elderflower-sirop spritzer before lunch. Very enjoyable!
And now I must stop crafting and get round to sending out my bills for April. Ta-ra me ducks!
