"M"
8 x 8 Canvas Flag
We're on to week four of The Summer of Color 2: Ice Cream Inspirations and our latest challenge is to create whatever our heart desires using the color palette found in Strawberry Lemonade . . . .
I have to admit, I was really looking forward to this one. The colors are feminine and sweet, and a nice departure from last week's more neutral tones. I wanted the "M's" to eventually face each other (Yes, it's gonna spell Summer. Well okay, you knew from the beginning ;), so I made the new girl facing the opposite direction of her "Baseball Nut" counterpart. I was inspired by a photo I saw on Pinterest to do a bathing cap sort of thing, and I love how the yellow ended up popping against the bright and pale pinks. In fact, I think I may have found my new favorite color combination!
I can't believe how fast this is all going (only two color prompts left!) and I've had a blast so far. If you've considered joining in but have yet to do so, feel free to jump right in. We want you to come out and play too . . . .
Speaking of which, check out the next crazy color scheme. Now that's gonna be fun to see!
Ice Cream Kisses,

Hi Kristin! Well, you keep making the pennant idea even better! I LOVE the M's facing one another idea, and her bathing cap wrap, wow!! Look at that cool pink topper on her, WOOT! I am excited! I do like yellow and pink together and her aqua eyes just accentuate it all perfectly. {sigh} She says Summer.
