For this layout I saw a challenge over at INKIDO and thought this photo would be perfect. Its a picture of Jessie covered in assorted jewels and glitter so fits in perfectly with their theme which is to be inspired by precious stones and Jewels.

So for this layouts colour scheme I used pink, turquoise and a touch of green and a touch of gold. See the challenge here.
