Just Add a colour combo - Challenge #212

It's ANZAC day here today.  For all our non Aussie/NZ readers ANZAC day is a remembrance day to honor the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who fought at Gallipoli in World War one.
I personally take this day to remember all our service men and women who have and who currently keep our shores safe.

Today also marks a new challenge here at Just Add Ink!
This week Delys has dreamed up a fantastic colour combination to challenge us. 
The colours are Bermuda Bay, Baked Brown Sugar, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.
