weekend paint colors

I had this spectacular idea last week, to start doing a weekly post on just color combinations. It could be fun.... I'll call it the "Saturday color combo." (I know, it's Sunday, but let's pretend it's Saturday. I ended up being much busier yesterday than I had planned.)

So, this weeks color combo is:



Barbie Pink - Water Melon - White - Black



I've been noticing this combo in magazines lately especially mixed with 80's-ish floral prints. Pretty and bold! It was the inspiration I needed to make this little notebook from a large photo transparency.



I read the comments from lasts weeks post, and I have to say Marigold and anything light colored mixed together, is one of my favorites! I find myself trying add a little burnt yellow/Marigold to all of my projects. It's one of my go-to colors!

I'm writing a summer-project tutorial at the moment, check back soon for that and happy Memorial weekend!

    What a great combo!!!! I love it :) (where do you get that frog thingy that you hold the paint chips on? with the little spikes on it?)
