Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration post - Blue Sea Illusion

Good Morning and welcome to my inspiration post for the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog. This week I am showcasing the beautiful Blue Sea Illusion. Isn't she just gorgeous and with some of my favourite pretty butterflies too! 

I went for a blue, sea green and purple colour palette today and whilst this bright blue is not normally one I would choose, I love how it came out. I am totally in love with her hair as well as this was a new colour combo for me  and one I will definitely be using again!
