Pale Blue and Green are the colours and the theme is Tulips from Amsterdam. Thought up no doubt because of my trip to Amsterdam. Yes, my choice and a few 'cusses' to myself for choosing it.
Anyhow, the background was done with blue, green and some yellow paint and my brayer. I seem to be using the brayer a lot recently but not getting any better handling it in the way that I want to. A bit of stencilling, some stamping with Catherine Pooler's juicy ink and I was ready for the theme.
A 'sketchy' windmill, a few birds, a couple of figures and I was away. Tempted to put "two lips from Amsterdam" but refrained. I just cut out what I thought were shapes for the Dutch hats and then went to look for my tulip stamps. I could only find the one so ended up with a border across the bottom stamped directly onto the page and coloured in, whilst chatting on the phone, with my Promarkers. (No, I was chatting with a friend not with the pens) Stuck again for words.

That's it! Must admit I do like making backgrounds and would love to carry on with loads of colours building up layer after layer - maybe I will do a rogue page like that (ie not a challenge page).
Now to see if Wendy 'cussed' too!
