This week's #79 Colour Challenge over at Less is More is to use Green & Blue on a Clean & Simple Card and the Challenge #3 over at Show us your Twinchie is to use bright colours on a 2 x 2 inch creation. I decided to combine them.
Below is my Twinchie, with the background created by using the bright new colours in the Summer Limited Edition Distress Ink set: Mowed Grass & Salty Ocean using the Acrylic Block Technique. These also happen to be one of my favourite colour combos ! The Stamps are from a little Basic Grey Clear Set that don't have a name or number on it. I added a little glitter to the wing & beak.
Next is my LIM card created from my Twinchie. Very simple design, but I like how the white highlights the colours and tiny creation !
These simple creations take less than 15 minutes to create, so here is another one using Blue & Yellow. This time I used Salty Ocean & Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks with water on my craft mat. The stamps on this one are from a small Technique Tuesday clear set - Pointed Perfection.
And here is another clean & simple card created from the Twinchie :
That's all for today !
Thanks for your visits & kind comments and enjoy the rest of the weekend. It's HOT here, we will try to stay cool.

Gorgeous twinchies Shirley, and beautiful LIM cards. The blues and greens go really well together. I keep meaning to have a go with LIM but I find it very hard not to fill the card.
I'm having a busy weekend, market this morning, out to lunch with my daughters other half's family, a quick shopping trip and babysitting this evening. Tomorrow I have Steve's Mum and Dad for the day.
I hope you weekend is going a bit quieter than mine.

Hi Shirley. Firstly, thanks so much for visiting me via Alie's blog - I love her creations too!
I really love these beautiful little twinchies!! I still haven't made one and yet everytime I see them I fall in love. I like the way your colours glow against the white and blend together so seamlessly.
I shall follow you too as it's always good to be able to find each other again and be inspired.
See you soon, Julia
Simply delightful. Love it
