Week 2 of The Summer of Color hosted by Kristin of Twinkle, Twinkle has me loving the colors! I absolutely adore this color combo.
1 pink + 1 pink + 1 orange
I used a hot pink gelato through the middle of the gesso’d page…spritzed it with water and blended it with my fingers then tipped the book back and forth to make the color run.
I found a piece of scrapbook paper in the pastel pink shade and punched a variety of circles to place across the center. 
I happened to have some fun orange mesh, washi tape and some brads all in the same shade of orange.
Since I have such a difficult time leaving a page without words, I decided that vellum would be a good choice to add the required word. I can’t explain it but for some reason words make me feel at peace with a page.
Even after my word, I felt it still was lacking something….orange splatters fit the bill. I’m very happy with this page as simple as it is.
Thanks once again to Kristin for this fun summer challenge!!
this is a marvelous journal spread-the colors and elements have come together beautifully!
I like this spread a LOT. I like how balanced it is, and how the colors seem to flow perfectly. The orange “splats” were the perfect addition to the piece.
I tried to come up with a word or phrase for mine, but nothing came to mind after I had it assembled. I really like WONDER. It was perfect!
Great design that is a showcase for the colors!
Gorgeous and very dynamic design! Valerie
