As You Like It Challenge # 65 Brights or Pastels and WHY

Hi Crafters,

Another fortnight has passed by and we have a new challenge at As You Like It this week. 

We are sponsored by Sweet Pea Stamps and we would love you to create a project using your favourite 'Bright or Pastel' colours and then tell us why they are your favourites to qualify for the prize.

I really love bright and bold colours, especially the colour red, but I truly admire cards from my blogging friends that are created using pastels as I seem to have a problem working with these shades. I tend to deepen the tones while colouring them and end up with a not so pastel finish.

So, I have decided to challenge myself to make a pastel card...or two, and here is my first one.
This was so very hard to stop colouring before I ruined it but I think I've achieved what I set out to do.

Recipe
Stamp - Penny Black Rubber, 'You Are A Peach' by Mo Manning

Well that's all from me today, hope to see you again soon,

Lorraine
