Summer of Color - Aqua Blue, Yellow and Hot Pink

Summer of Color 2014 is here!  I was inspired by a white Greta Constantine cocktail dress I saw in the newspaper months ago.  I will often save clippings of images that interest me.  I had to take a photo of this one as the fluorescent hot pink did not show well on my scanner. It is  a greeting card on textured yellow cardstock (5 1/2"h x 4 1/4"w) in acrylic.  Thanks to Kristin for running this fun art co-op.

I am also linking to Paint Party Friday with this one.  Thanks to Kristin and Eva for always hosting!

Very elegant! Great idea to use the colours like this. Scanners don't seem to pick up fluo colours. I've had the same thing happening with fluo orange ....
