The Summer of Color: Week Five!

Welcome to Week Five of The Summer of Color 2: Ice Cream Inspirations!

It's been a beautiful week perusing all of the artwork inspired by our latest flavor, "Strawberry Lemonade": I'm continually awed and amazed by all of the talent you possess and share and am thrilled by the enthusiasm and friendship found here, on our Facebook page and in our Flickr pool. Keep those pictures coming - if even for my own selfish reasons - as I get a little twinkle in my eye every time I see something new posted . . . .

You may have noticed that the Ice Cream flavors selected for the event seem a bit - dare I say - unusual. Well, I'll let you in on a little secret: I never expected to have such difficulty finding a variety of colors to offer! When it comes down to it, I've learned that although there are literally hundreds to choose from, most ice cream colors are, well, a bit similar to each other. In order to provide a varied group of color prompts, I rediscovered a childhood love of sherbets. They're cool, often translucent in nature but almost always bold and colorful. With that said, I bring you our fifth prompt . . . .

Wild n' Reckless Sherbet!
As of today, you may link your artwork inspired by the colors found in Wild n' Reckless Sherbet (check out this post to see the flavor up close). To do so, please copy and paste the direct link from your blog or Flickr page to the widget below. You will have the entire week - Until Sunday July 15th (Pacific Standard Time) - to get it in. Those who link their Wild n' Reckless pieces will also be in the pool to win this goodie bag:

{3 pages of clip art from the TJ Designs Storybook collection, 3 Martha Stewart craft paints in Pacific Iris, Pond and Spring Pasture, a set of liquid Pearls from Ranger (and I really want this!), 3 tubes of Stickles glitter in Lavender, Holly and Waterfall, 2 4 x 4 canvas panels, 3 Sakura metallic Gelly Roll pens (from the Ice Cream Smooth collection) and last but not least, a sprinkling of Swarovski crystals in purple, blue and iridescent}

Inspired?!

Okay, go ahead and link your Wild n' Reckless now:
