Choosing three of my favourite colours from the 51 Stampin’ Up colours was really difficult. I love all things blue and neutral, so I decided to choose from the blues and neutral.
I chose Wild Wheat, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue. I love the depth that Wild Wheat and Misty Moonlight gave my pages and the Balmy Blue offered a bit of light. If you needed to choose just 3 colours from the 51 Stampin’ Up colours, what would they be? I would love to hear about your choices.
I have used the following supplies, which can be ordered from my online store at https://cazhurst.stampinup.net

One my first page I have used a full sheet of Designer Series Paper and stamp it using the Of Art & Texture stamp set and Balmy Blue Ink. I matted two of the photos together and added another mat layer. The single photo has a single mat. Using a double layer helps the photos stand out and offers a contrast.
I love using the Alphabet dies, which you can get in the online store. It is a single die for the whole alphabet with several letters being duplicated. You can store what you don’t use. I am now gathering a stash of letters to use with other projects. I loved how my mini mountain range was able to display my title.
On my second page, I have used half a sheet of Designer Series Paper and cut it to look like the Grand Canyon mountains. Even though you cannot see most of it, there is a glimpse of it. I matted the two lower photos with one mat and the upper photo with double mats. It keeps it consistent with the other page. I have also tried to match my journalling box with Wild Wheat. I think it looks effective, even though it’s not a perfect match. I stamped the background using the Of Art & Texture stamp set and Balmy Blue Ink to match my first page.
I used all 3 colours to do a shadow mountain effect behind the journalling box and top photo. I used the reversed side of the Designer Series Paper I cut into mountains and with the 3 colours I made multiple mountains using 3 different blending brushes.
My double layout was more photos celebrating my trip to Las Vegas for a Stampin' Up leadership conference. I had a great time. Cohen cat also helped with the photography, he always has to be in the craft room when something new is being created. He's such a cool companion and sometimes a nuisance when he won't get off the papers I am trying to use, as he thinks her can sleep on. Do you have this problem with your cat?
