August Colour Challenge

 Hello, everyone!

Welcome to the 2nd Saturday in August; it is time for a Colour Challenge.
I admit I always struggle to set up this challenge and then make the cards.

Here is the combination that I came up with.

I hope that you have fun with this combination.  

You can also use a little of the neutrals of Black and White.  But only as a complement to the main colours.
Looking forward to seeing how you use these colours on your creations.

Our Guest Designer this week is 

Erika

Thank you for being a part of the team this week and for your wonderful creation.

Now it is time for us to show you how we used these colours.
