There are plenty of my favourite colours involved too, but I surprised myself by really enjoying this excursion into the coral zone (especially since it's not only pink, it's also an orangey-pink - another colour which doesn't exactly feature much around here... except in autumn, of course).
I hope you'll be able to hop over to PaperArtsy and see what I got up to with some of Lynne Perrella's most recent designs as well as some of my own brand new Happiness Edition words. (Check out the launch post for my latest Eclectica³ Alison Bomber quote stamps if you missed it.)
Thanks so much for stopping and hopping... I'll be interested to see what you think of the coral!
Coral, coral, coral - it's as flattering as candlelight.

If you don't mind hopping to PaperArtsy to see the full thing, I'd love to play along with these challenges:
At MOO Mania & More they are asking us to Count Your Blessings... you can't see it here, but that's exactly what the sentiment on this large tag talks about - the joys of pictures, music and everything beautiful, definite blessings to be counted
At the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge they are celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month by asking us to Think Pink... well, this is pretty pink for me!
And I'm not really sure whether butterflies count as animals, but just in case they do I'd like to play along with the Animal Magic theme over at Try It On Tuesday
Beautiful tag and I love the colours. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI stopped by Paper Artsy and took a peek. These are beautiful Alison. The Lynne Perrella designs work so well with your quotes! Hugs-Erika

ReplyDeleteYour tag is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours Alison, and the project.
ReplyDeleteDear Alison , I was just there, and admire your long tag, with the lovely ladies. They are beautifully painted with the Fresco paints, -( have to admit , I love the coral, lol )and so many tiny details, in painting, too. Also your quote used is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Dorthe xx
I've just been to see your tag Alison and it's absolutely beautiful. The way you've coloured the butterflies is perfect. Have a very happy day, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteHi Alison. This is gorgeous. Loving your choice of colours and the stamps are so special no wonder you enjoyed using them and of course those very special sentiment stamps. Wishing you a very happy and creative week, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant balance of bright butterfly colour and delicate pastels the coral is lovely and the tags a pleasure to look at. x
ReplyDeleteFabulous stamkps and gorgeous colouring Alison..love that beautiful coral colour [was my Mums favourite colour] I also love that quote..FABulous tag.
ReplyDeleteLuv CHRISSYxx
I'm driven by color, so I was most impressed by your use of those pops of color in everything from the tag to the butterfly lady to your fabulous Woolf quote. You paired coral well with the pastels you chose. Great choice of paint colors to compliment the coral and pink.
ReplyDeleteYou rocked the coral! LOVE that image too!
ReplyDeleteUnusual colour for you... I can see the struggle in how most of the coral is in the ribbon and text background, not my favourite colour either! Great colouring job on those fiddly butterflies. x
ReplyDeleteI love your tag, Alison, it's absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at MOO MANIA & MORE

Using colour that is alien to what you usually do and achieving such delightful results is the mark of a true artist Alison.
ReplyDeleteYou have only given us a small sneak peek of what you have done so I am so glad I went over to the PaperArtsy blog - well worth the visit.
Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Hugs, Neet xx

Loving those stamps Alison, perfect for the use of coral, such an important flesh tone colour for me. I love how you used the wee image as a top tag, all so beautifully wrapped xx
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! The stamp designs and the way you’ve colored creates a truly beautiful picture.
