We are SUPER excited about this week's color inspiration!
It's a 'Color Splash' challenge ... inspired by the photo above.
'Color Splash' is simply black & white with a 'bit' of color.
The color are really YOUR INTERPRETATION.
We kept the color suggestions small...will you go
teal green? or maybe teal blue?
It's totally up to you!

every six weeks or so.  So let us know how you like it!
