Meredith, Sue and myself have had inspiration overload and there are some awesome challenges that will be posted up here on the ol' blog during the month of JUNE.
Amanda's Challenge.
this is in response to a trend that i have spotted popping up all over the place.
SAME ON SAME.
here are some examples i have stumbled upon lately. The layering of paper elements of the same colour as the background is evident in each one:
Keisha Campbell
or this one by Michelle Burry who uses journalling strips in the same kraft as the background…..
and finally this gorgeous layout in the latest Creating Keepsakes really made my eyes pop - by Davine Fiero (if you follow her blog link there she also has another example creating clouds and a scalloped border using the same technique) Those big kraft on kraft scalloped circles is what i am on about here!! What an awesome and yet subtle accent!
So pull out your punches or scissors and get some same colour on colour happing. It doesn't need to be kraft or white card stock. Just same card or paper on top of each other.
And nope i am not meaning a simple monocromatic layout here….. pfffft any doofus can pull one of those together. I am thinking punches, fussy cutting, home made bits and bobs from paper layered on to the very same paper/card base.
Go forth, create and show us how you go!
