The Color Room & Websters Pages

Hi There!
Spring is here in Australia & that makes me so happy!! The sun has been shining for the whole weekend & we still have beautiful weather forcast for the next couple of days!! Sunshine always puts me in a better mood & makes me smile!

I have had a play at a few more challenges. I know I am a bit if a challenge addict! Challenges are such a great starting point for me whether it is a sketch, colour or product challenge I just find it so much easier to get started!

This page was created for The Color Room palette #126
 

I luv this photo of my Dad & Evie. It was taken at my Brother's wedding in March this year. I added some Kraft paper to the palette & went with more of a vintage combination of the colours. I have used Prima Fairy Belle papers

I luv this Prima wooden clock & Prima butterfly. The flowers are a mix of Prima & Green Tara

This next page is for the Websters Pages trendy challenge. I chose to use chevron & ombre.

This is Kayla & Hunter sitting in the ferris wheel at The Beachouse in Glenelg SA. I have used Websters Pages Girl Land & Prima flowers

This chippie is from 2 Crafty. It was a longer title that I chopped up. I like using Ombre on chipboard at the moment. It just seems to add a bit more depth to it!

It's the start of the month so that means a whole lotta new challenges!! I'm sure I will be back soon LOL!

Thanks for looking!
Cheers

Imaginarium Designs Chipboard Love Cherish Adore

Have you been hearing alot about Ombre lately?? Ombre seems to be THE next big thing in fashion & scrapbooking trends. A lot of manufacturers have been showcasing Ombre trends & techniques. What is Ombre? Basically it is different tones or colours that shade into each other. I have used Ombre to alter the gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard title Love Cherish Adore. Here is a quick little step by step on how to get THE look of the season!

First start by painting your title with gesso. This gives it a good base & stops your ink colours from seeping into the chipboard.

Choose 3 colours of inks, paints, mists or pan pastels that compliment each other. I chose pink (top shade) lilac (middle shade) & yellow (bottom shade)You will need a light & dark shade of your top & bottom colour. EG I have used a light pink, a dark pink, a light yellow & a dark yellow.

I used a combination of pan pastels & inks. Sassy Scrapper has a gorgeous range of Prima Ingvild Bolme chalk fluid edgers here or Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Inks here which are perfect to use!

Ink the top of 'Love' with a light pink going 3/4's of the way down as you can see in the picture. Ink the remaining 1/4 with lilac.

Ink all of 'Cherish' with lilac

Ink the top 1/4 of 'Adore' with lilac. Ink the remaining 3/4's with light yellow.

Use the dark pink & ink half way over the light pink so now you have 3 colours on 'Love' Dark pink, Light pink the Lilac

Use the dark yellow & hink half way over the light yellow so now you have 3 colours on 'Adore' Lilac, Light Yellow & Dark Yellow

Cover all 3 words in some Glimmer Glam or Glossy Accents for a nice shimmer finish
