The colors for this Week 3 of The Summer of Color hosted by Kristin of Twinkle, Twinkle gave me some trouble. I wasn’t sure how I wanted to proceed so I didn’t until today.
1 purple + 1 purple + 1 yellow
I happened upon an image of a little girl all in yellow in a magazine ad. I figured she’d work perfect for the yellow portion. I used gel medium to adhere the magazine image to some printer paper so she’d have a little more stability as I cut around her.
For the background I once again decided to use gelatos…
So far they haven’t failed me. Although I was surprised at how pink the lavender gelato appeared on the page. I decided to just press on since the tube was clearly labeled lavender.
Instead of doing a straight up checker board I went with random rectangles. The blending gave a slightly dreamy quality in my eye.
I searched through my collection of phrase fragments until something came together.
These colors definitely had me stepping…or perhaps leaping outside my comfort zone. That’s what challenges are for, right?!?!
I love what you did with these colors, Halle! Considering purple is my favorite color, one would think it would be easy…I finally decided on something and will list it tomorrow.
I had planned to use my gelatos last week but with all the humidity, I could not get the base to dry in time.
Purple always has a sense of enchantment- these are wonderful pages!
Love what you have made, very pretty with the girl in yellow. Great colours, Valerie
wonderful striking image and I love the word cluster sentiment
I have both of these colors in gelatos and found that the lighter lavender looked pink, too! And I absolutely love the art journal pages you created using this week’s colors! I love the quote – it’s perfect here! Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us at SOC! HUGS!
wonderful Halle ! Such a beautiful spread!
what a sweet page Halle. And, I want to congratulate you again on your article and cards in Sew Somerset! I just received the issue and LOVE your gorgeous cards-they did such a great job showcasing them!
a sweet piece.
It is a wonderful piece, I like the lavender colour!
Golly, your idea turned out SUPER. I also like the randomness of the background. I’m impressed to no end, dear friend.
I like where to stepped/leapt Halle!
Those creamy colors sure look yummy.
Super design with the perfect words too.

meant to ask you what you use to blend your gelatos?
Well girl, this is just fantastic!! I LOVE Gelatos and what can be achieved with them. Your background is gorgeous!
I love the dark blue with the light purple. Would never think to put those 2 colors together but how nice! And that quote is great. How many times do we all do that during the course of our lives. Have a great weekend.
Beautiful journal spread!
Wonderful! I love gelatos as well. Your work is beautiful here.

I agree with you, this piece has a dream feel to it. Cute, too!
What a lovely, bold background. Great sentiment too!
I have never tried gelatos but they look fun, i love how that cute little girl looks with the purple!
Such a pretty page Halle…. I love playing with the gelatos as well… and just love the pop of yellow with that sweet little girl… gorgeous work…
