This week, Kristin has challenged us to work with another great group of colours - Royal Blue, Red and a smudge, splash or pop of Light Blue. I've stuck with my altered bingo cards and will probably make them into some sort of book; whether I will tape them together accordion style or put a ring on them I have yet to decide.
My royal blue and light blue are easier to tell apart in person than in the scan!
Next week is our last week. I can truly say that this has been a wonderful challenge with so many talented people producing amazing work each week in the most varied of mediums. And it's been very inspiring to work with some familiar colour combinations and some that I wouldn't normally work with and find out THAT's OK! :) Thank you Kristin for putting this all together - I know it is a lot of work and appreciate it so much, as I'm sure the other artists do as well.
Oh Cindy, this is adorable. Your ballerina is simply perfect for this color challenge, right down to her red flowers.

lovely! It will be good to see the series in an accordion book

I agree, this is charming. I love the expression of her pose and the Bingo at the top. Great idea to put in an accordion book, should be fun.

Another nice SOC piece. I never thought of using old bingo cards, but they are a nice size ---not tiny not too big. I vote for the accordion book ---my reason is that with a ring, you can see only one image at a time and it can't sit up by itself. With an accordion book you could open it to display 2, 4, or more images on a table and change the ones that are viewable occasionally. I've been making some handmade books and like the accordion ones I've made.

Fabulous! And you must make a book out of your cards - that would be wonderful. Wishing you a colorful week.

Oh she's lovely! Funny, I pulled out a bingo card to get me started in all it's blue-ness....but went a different direction. Great use of the colors!

very nice!!...and now I have to go back and check out all your earlier posts on ICAD. What a great idea using the bingo backgrounds for each week

This is great, you've obviously had no trouble at all using the three colours. I like the use of the bingo card and the way you have them as a theme. The large red flowers and patterned strip set off the ballerina so well.

Gogeous Cindy, simply gogeous. I love balerinas. The blues are very easy to tell apart, so no fears there. Thank you for your advice on my page :o)

fantastic Cindy! I think a book is a wonderful idea. I'm kinda sad we only have one more week. It's been great seeing so many projects by everyone.
