OLW 100 whoo hoo!!!

Hi folks, It's a lovely warm summer's day here, I hope you're enjoying good weather where you are!
One Layer Wednesday is 100 posts old,  the challenge is at Cheryl's this week and the challenge is
Rules for OLW100

1. A one-layer card is defined as a single layer of card stock folded in half. No other layers allowed!

2. Make a card using transportation as your theme. Remember to keep embellishments to a minimum and NO ADDITIONAL LAYERS of card stock.
(There are more [rules, not layers LOL] on Cheryl's blog )

Here is my card

 I used
Tim Holtz Stamps, Purely Random and 7Gypsies Collections from the Journey, ink-Travel
A very small swipe of Pan pastels, Bright Yellow Green Tint and Phtalo Green Tint ( Oh! please tell me does anyone know how you pronounce that? )

If you are here to check out the colours that I used in my Twinchie?
They were
Mustard Seed
Picked Raspberry and..........................the blue was

Peacock Feathers      :0)  Didn't they blend well? I thought so LOL.

No-one got it perfectly right but Shirley was the first with two correct guesses, so the ink pad goes to her, please let me know your snail mail address Shirley :0) I will get that off to you toot sweet!!!!
