Challenge 23 "Colour Technique"

Thank you for celebrating the Chinese New Year (of the Snake) with us over the past two weeks.  Now it is time for a new challenge and this time we want you to use colour - with gay abandonment.

We want something nice and bright to cheer us up on the dark grey days we are experiencing at the moment.  Whilst discussing this, via email as we live miles apart, we came up with a couple of ideas and so Von decided to go for 'colour blocking' and Neet to use her 'Stazon technique'.  Another thing we thought of was using the Dylusion sprays as they come in such gorgeous colours perfect for this challenge.

So what will you do?  Will you use one of the techniques above or do something totally different?  Here are a couple of links to help you:

or simply Google the technique you want.

Now, what did we do:

Neet's Stazon Technique:


Now we can sit back and see what you all come up with, we are really looking forward to seeing some bright colourful work from all of you.  Will it be one of the techniques mentioned above or will you choose something different?  As what you do please please please take a moment to read the rules above.  Without you sticking to all the criteria we ask, and it isn't much, we cannot consider you for a prize or a blinkie.  Happy crafting!
