  67. That is one of the great things of being a crafter you can use whatever colours you want whether they are the correct ones or not, I have been so inspired by you that I have started colouring my images with way out coloured hair something I would never of dreamt of before, lol. These look fantastic I have used blue for a Poinsettia for a DT project coming up in a couple of weeks and I think they look super, I adore the elegant scroll work and the designs of these, top notch work Nic.
