Make My Monday Colour Wheel Challenge

Afternoon everyone from a dull, drizzly London, although Mister Blue Sky is supposed to be here for the weekend! That song is driving me mad I love it but we have sung it so much this term and now it's on the British Gas advert!! Maybe we sang it too much and frightened him off:)
Anyway back to the challenge. I moaned about the colours last week and came in the Top 3 and I can't say I love this weeks colours either! This week it's complimentary colours of :

Now let me think, when was the last time I wore these colours? 1964 maybe:)
Just joking Mynnette! I quite liked it once I started thinking about what to do. Here is my card, what do you think?


Recipe:
White base card
Coredinations in purple and yellow
Anna Griffin punch
Free stamp from Creativity mag
Promarkers
SeeDee sentiment and brad

I masked the first stamped image and stamped the skirt again for extra fullness. I coloured with PM's and added gold glitter with my glue pen and fussy cut and mounted with pinflair.
Thanks for visiting and hopefully leaving a comment:)

    Love your image, Val. Great job with the masking, the skirt of your dress looks so pretty. I love your layered border, too.

    Miserable day here again. Grey skies and drizzle. Hope it's better for all of us tomorrow. Enjoy a lovely weekend...whatever the weather x

    Great card Val - goes so well with these colours - Gay was right about the Spanish feel. I got this set as well but haven't used it yet. Love the skirt and the punched borders.
