Hello Amazing Fall

 Scrapbook Layout created for Scrapbook Nerd  - HELLO AMAZING FALL -

Hi there! Nathalie with you today to bring you a new project inspired by the colors of Fall.  This week we will be creating projects inspired by color, and i wanted to show you how to build a color family background using acrylic paints.

   

 The colors used here are the ones in a Fall sunset (i found the colors by doing a Pinterest search, "Fall color palette"), and were replicated using Acrylic pop paints    The key to having a cohesive look to the background -not harsh transitions between the color stripes- is to build the colors using a same color base.  This means you start with the lightest color, in this case yellow, and create the colors using this as a base.  The background color will be the one that softnes the transitions and help create a cohesive color family.   The following video will show you how this page was put together:

   How simple and colorful is that background?!  The color stripes are the perfect base to bring the rest of the layout to live.   The simple stenciled details are just subtle enough to add interest to the stripes

     

 The leaf cut outs and stamped flowers are a great way to create clusters in this page without losing a large part of the background.

   

  The smalls pop of gold complement all those ephemera pieces and stickers from Vicki Boutin Field Notes and All The Good Things collection.

 

 The title brings the warm tones of Fall into this page, and complete the golden look of a modern Fall layout.

Scrapbook Layout created for Citrus Twist Kits  -  READ ALWAYS  -

Hi there!


Time is flying, and we are about to move onto October, so how about one more project for Citrus Twist Kits using their September kits before we move onto the beautiful October kits.

For this page, i used the "Good Stuff" add-on kit and few of the exclusive stamps.   Just love the 6x8 Willow LAne paper pad included in the kit; so, a pulled a few of the papers to create a title for the page.

The letters were cut on the Silhouette Cameo, and then hand stitched to bring a bit more detail and color to the title.

Before adding the title onto the page, I used a bit of Whipped Spackle and a Stencil from Echo Park to add a bit of tone-on-tone deital to the background.  The letters were then glued straight to the page.  To complete the title i used the colorful alphas from the WIllow Lane collection under the large handstitched letters.

Next, I nestled the picture under the letters, and added a few details using the Vicki Boutin ephemera pieces, all the brads and enamel dots from My Mind's Eye and then a few Chipboard stickers from Amy Tangerine included in the Embellishment kit. 

A few elements from the monthly cut-apart sheet and some stamped images using CTK exclusive stamps was all that this layout needed.  Love how this page came together so easily, and filled with texture and color.
