    Citron Green & Turquoise

    June 12, 2013 - By 

    20130612_2258I’ve decided to join a summer challenge put forth by Kristen of Twinkle, Twinkle. This is her 3rd Summer of Color challenge.

    The first weeks color combo is citron green and turquoise.

    Fun!!

    20130612_2257I was brave and grabbed my cursed journal once again since I have been known to create something very pleasing to my eye in it at least once before. 😉

    I have to admit that I love this color combo!!

    The pages are very simple but yet make a statement with the color and texture.

    20130612_2259The bright, make you feel alive, colors are adding some much needed energy to our gloomy weather around here.

    Make sure and stop by Kristen’s blog to see what the other participants have come up with this week!

    The cursed journal

    My bad mojo with this journal continues.

    I can’t say that I hate these pages but they are definitely not my favorites. 20130606_2198

    I’m playing with different styles, mediums, colors and textures.

    I do know that I am learning through my process but sometimes I think I should just gesso over the whole works and start again.

    However, I must say that there are areas of each of the pages that I really like…just not so much the pages as a whole.

    Layers upon layers

    This journal spread was several days in the making.

    I started with light colors…then went to orange and rust…then an overlay of cooler pastel colors.

    I finally settled on some flowers. I had intended on having the flowers be the background color and covering the rest with another more solid color but it all went to pieces.

    Oh well.  Trying new things and failing is all a part of learning.

    I decided that the quote Enjoy the Moment was perfect. I needed to just sit back and enjoy.

    It was more about the process than the result this time for me and that’s ok.
