I’ve been waiting all year, heck since last year, for this post.

The Summer of Color hosted by Kristin of Twinkle, Twinkle is here and I’m ready to share my page for the first weeks challenge.

1 blue + 1 blue + 1 green

I decided to use gelatos since I have a nice selection in coordinating colors.

I scribbled the three colors straight on the book pages then spritzed with water. I blended with my fingers then closed the pages onto one another and quickly pulled them back apart. This gives a fun mix of the colors over top of each other in a very unique way.

My quote “The one who plants a garden plants happiness” guided me to stamp some flowers with faded denim distress ink across the bottom of the page.

I ripped bits of the baby wipe I used earlier to simulate clouds.

I stamped my quote on some dress pattern paper since I had it laying around. In hindsight I wish I’d taken the time to dig out some white tissue paper instead.

The words in text came last. I saw them in my bin of saved phrases right there on top and decided they were meant to be on the page as well.

Thanks to Kristin for once again hosting this great challenge.
