This color combo is one of my all time favorites. 
The polka dots add a vintage feel to it.
I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment from this Dove wrapper.

Good morning! Welcome to T stands for Tuesday!
I missed last week but I’m back and ready to show you another journal page. Art journals seem to be my major creative outlet these days.
I got a little crazy with the colors on this one. Wild and messy yet soft and subtle. Really I threw every I had at hand at this one. Painted then torn book pages, washi tape, India ink and even an envelope seal sticker. Then I found the words…
It fit my mood. I was creating in a chaotic manner…freeing my mind. The words made me think of being a teen and goofing around…then all of a sudden an authority figure comes into view. Play it cool… Or was that just me? *grin*
Speaking of playing it cool…
We were lucky to have one last dip in the neighbors pool before school starts next Tuesday! Sunday was a hot and sticky day…perfect for some splashing and an adult beverage.
Errands and laundry are on my list for the day… What are you doing today?
A couple days ago I sat down to journal. The train image literally fell into my lap as I bumped a stack of papers while reaching for something else. I often take that as a message. “Use this…you won’t be sorry.” 
An unexpected thing happened to the bright shiny image as I applied it with liquid matte medium…the image “aged”. I love it when things work out like that!!
I went in search of words and “the railroad tracks” were on the second page I picked up. Again…meant to be.
Last night I was perusing Pinterest and came across this Will Rogers quote:
Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.
Oh so sad…this is it…The Summer of Color is finished. Thank you, Kristen, for once again bringing us this great summer challenge.
Behold our last set of colors….
Raspberry & Tangerine with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon
I immediately thought of a hibiscus.

My drawing skills aren’t the best but I think given the size and shape this is a pretty good interpretation of one.
The raspberry color is more pronounced in person…also could be the strong morning sun throwing it off a bit.
I love it…a nice tropical flower on a cool July day in Minnesota.
I can’t believe The Summer of Color is nearing it’s end…or am I just being a glass half empty sort of gal today? Regardless…here we are already at week 4 of 6.
Pink & Apple Green with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Dark Green
I took the liberty of choosing a brighter pink…mainly because from the computer..down the stairs to my art zone…I’d convinced myself that it was the neon pink color that was needed. 
Not sure why…maybe I was having a 1980’s flash back. Mallrats… Day glo…. Hypercolor…acid wash denim… Anyone with me?
This little bit of text happened to fall into my lap…. I thought it was fitting.
I’m definitely in a bright color sort of mode…something new for me.
I’m not sure that my journaling would stand up to an English majors scrutiny but I never professed to being an expert at my native language. ;)
I do love the shimmer and bits of sparkles that are on this page. They are just so darn hard to capture on camera.
Kristen, our wonderful hostess for The Summer of Color 4, couldn’t have picked a better set of colors to start us out.
Aqua Blue & Yellow
With a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Hot Pink
Here’s my art journal page for today…
Love, love these colors!!
I’m not sure if I’m going to label each weeks journal page with a SOC4 but today it just seemed right.
Go check out what my fellow SOC4 artists come up with this week. I know I’ll be checking them out daily.
