Hello friends!
Nathalie with you today with a new project that brings all the shades of the rainbow to a page. The new Color Vibe collection is not just a companion to the amazing Simple Stories collections, but also the best and colorful collection to bring a rainbow to a page. Let me show you!
All the new texture cardstock of the Color Vibe collection creates the color and interest in the page. I started with a cut file from Handipaper. I used papers from the Color Vibe Brights and Color Vibe Lights to back the rainbow and large floral of the cut out. A bit of foam adhesive helps to add dimension to the cut out.
In addition, i used the same papers to back separate floral diecuts making sure i used the same Color Vibe papers for it. The texture in the cardstock brings extra interest to the diecuts.
I used Color Vibe Basic and Color Vibe Lights to back the pictures of my little one, and decided to use the Warm White Color Vibe as the background. Once i attached the picture and rainbow to the page, i added the small floral clusters along with sticker embellishments from the I AM 2020 collection and Magical Birthday collection in coordinating colors.
To complement the colors in the rainbow design on the page, i decided to use Color Vibe Foam Alphas (Pink, Coral, Orange, Yellow, Green, Robin's Egg and Teal) and the Color Vibe Basics Alpha Sticker alpha. But before gluing the title down, i created a strip of all the papers i used on the page as a way to anchor the title to the page.
This page is just a small burst of color, and all created with the new COLOR VIBE collections. Be sure to check the cardstock and foam alphas you will love them!!
Junque Journal Entry for Vicki Boutin DT - YOU ARE THE BEST -
Hello friends and
fans!Nathalie with you today to bring
you a bit of inspiration using one of the most addictive little books,my Junque Journal.This time I combined this format with a bit
of the new watercolor set to create a colorful double spread for my journal.
Have I mentioned I love watercolor, and cannot get enough ofthe new watercolor set and brushes.These two are the ideal for creating those
beautiful and rainbow-like backgrounds, and that was the inspiration for this
page.
For this entry, I pulled two pages of the watercolor paper inserts for
the junque journal. And then added pea size (or smaller) amounts of watercolor
in rainbow colors to a palette (this one has a lid, and was purchased at my
local Dollar store).I made sure to add
some water to each color so that they would not dry on the palette.
To create thebackground, I just
started adding color to the page along with some water, so that the color will
disperser on the page.My idea was to
have the colors mingle at the edges thus creating a true soft watercolor.
Once the rainbow was created on the pages,I left it aside to dry completely, and
started to work on the embellishments for this page.
The circle stamp and die set from the latest release were used to cut
circles from different papers from the 12x12 and 7x10 paper pads. I wanted to add a rainbow of color to the
page using the collection papers.
Before gluing the papers together, I used the starburst circle, and gold
ink to add a bit of extra interest to the background.The circles were glued to the page with
glue and foam adhesive -this will help with adding dimension and interest to
the page.
I chose to add my picture on the cool side of the project.Just a few extra decorations is all that it
is needed to bring the eye of the viewer to the picture featured in this page.
As I moved onto the second page of the spread, the circles were placed
and cut so that they are symmetrical on bothpages.I continued adding some
ofthe stamped images and the circles
until I had exhausted all the colors of the rainbow.
Now to decorate the page, I chose to color block the decorations.In some cases, the paper clips were trimmed
so that they could be used as ephemera, and then in between some of the
circles.The rest of the décor comes
from the watercolor stickers pages.I
simply placed them on the page, and then used one the water brushes and the
left over watercolor in the palette to add the respective color to the sticker.
The title was the last thing added to this page.And then once again, I reached for one of the
Watercolor stickers, and the palette to match the color of the title to the
page.
Can I say that I love how this page came out!!, and that it inspired the
next post (available on my blog).
My little junque journal is slowly becoming colorful, and the perfect
place to practice some techniques in a smaller scale before putting them to
work on my scrapbook pages.Here is
video that shows you a more in depth look on how these pages were put together.
Thanks for stopping by, and remember to check Vicki’s All the Good
Things for all the materials used in this post.Each medium, paper and embellishment are so easy to work with, and
create one of a kind projects.
