Oh yummy, my favourite colours together! So where do I start?
My sofa and the lime green and purple throws and cushions.
Or Perhaps the curtains I made with the backdrop of the lime green of our hedge.
Or even one of my Alliums next to the ferns this year.
I wonder...
So here's my Summer of Colour twinchie for this week.
What critter could I use (trying desperately to avoid butterflies as I did them each week last year!) - ah yes a beetle, how's that?
I used a Quickutz die with pearlescent and plain purple card. The background is from a few leftovers from Dylusion spraying and embossing.
A couple of purple flowers and gems, some crystal stickles and even the left over spots from the beetle's coat! Oh and some purple lace which I adore. Definitely need some purple liquid pearls or stickles - best add that to my list.

- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

Love your post, so many great images in this color combo!
Your allium is beautiful, and I really like the idea of a beetle. I ended up going with jungle animals.

I panicked a bit when I saw this colour combo. I love both colours... separately. never thought to put them together but I did enjoy it in the end. I love that you have it all over your house!
Love your little beetle :)

A beautiful beetle and beautiful photos of your home furnishings too!
How cute your little beetle is!! Love how you switch it up each week.
Lovely furniture, nice and relaxing I bet. The peek out the window is pretty too.
I guess you love this weeks colors as much as me!
I love that you have this colour combination all over your house!! It staggers me how detailed twinchies are. What do you do with them after you have made them, if you don't mind me asking?
I love your photos and your creation! Such a wonderful way to use this week's colors!
