#16: "Amarantine" {April 2012}


These were extras of the “Central Park” by Kate Spain for Moda Fabrics charm pack I had left over. The name fort this one is “Amarantine” which means immortal or unfading, and is the song from Enya I was listening to while working on this. Oddly enough, the effect I was trying to get was a fading from light to dark of the 4 colors, yellow, sage green, light blue and light lavender.
