Hi there!
Nathalie here with a new layout that was totally inspired on this week's color challenge. I love color, and this week's color board is vibrant, bold and so super fun, and it was the perfect palette to document a not so happy time in my life,but before i show you how i used VIcki's products, let me show you the color inspiration
And here is what i created using the colors as inspiration:
Let's talk about vibrancy, boldness and color -we will chat about the coffee and medicine combination other time ;)-. The idea of the background was inspired by the coffee shape and the Pop Dots paper (Color Kaleidoscope). First, i used a circle template to pencil in three sets of circles on the foundation paper, and then used watercolor markers to add color to each of them
Once the watercolor dried completely, i used the Ink Spill stencil to create a few rings on the page using a combination of gold and rose gold glazes and a stencil brush. Once it dried, it was time to put the page together.
A few papers from the collection were used to back and layer the picture, and then a few hearts were fussy (Paper Hearts) so that they match the colors of the background circles.
A few stickers, and embellishments were added around the hearts so that they form clusters around the picture. I chose to keep the embellishments to black and white so that they stand out from the background.
The last grouping of hearts was then used to mark the title positioning. The title comes from the Color Kaleidoscope collection, and is the perfect color to bring the stencil images and the embellishments together. A few lines of journal and black art crayon splatters complete this page. Here is a small video that shows you how it all came together:
I love how this came together, and how a not so happy moment in my life shines in this colorful page:
i hope this inspires you to use the colorboard to create a project of your own using Vicki's products. Remember to share with us what you create, and if you have questions on how this came together, please do not hesitate to contact me!
