BRIGHT BLUE AND ORANGE

I picked up this little blue glass vase for a snip - it was a pure impulse buy as I was completely lured by the colour! 
 In the garden this week these bright orange Mombretia were just about coming to an end but I managed to salvage a few for the vase.   Being complimentary colours blue and orange just work so well together and I love this colour combo, although I find a little goes a long way.

  2. Diana, this is gorgeous... Beautiful vivid colours! I must try and do some of this with my new Dylusions inks. The blue glass vase is lovely. Very satisfying when you find something so beautiful so cheap!

    Thanks for your comment. I had a feeling you might like Ryn's work! I've got several stamps on order, including, of course, the irresistable water droplets! Aren't they fabulous? She was very pleased that I did a post about her, and already several of my friends have visited her and placed orders, which is great. It's time she got better known because her work is amazing.

  5. Stunning combination..... the montbretia is perfect in your blue bargain!

    I have montbretia in my garden too, flopping about a bit at the moment but once I get off the computer (!) I am having a gardening day.... it may go from flop to chop!
