    SOC4: week 3

    June 24, 2014 - By 

    Yikes…Kristen picked a little harder set of colors for me this 3rd week of The Summer of Color! On first inspection I thought….”sure, you got this”…but as it turned out…it was harder that I thought to come up with something.

    20140624_5408It’s not my favorite journal page. My grey paint was way thicker than I wanted so the page looks too “flat” to me.  Oh well…live and learn.

    SOC4: Week 2

    June 16, 2014 - By 

    rp_soc4button.pngIt’s time play along again with Kristen for week 2 of The Summer of Color.

    The palette for this week is:IMG_0008Coral & Teal 

    with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Bright White

    This one was a little out of my comfort zone but that’s what this challenge is all about.coral and tealYou’ll just have to take my word for it that the coral is more coral.  I took over a dozen photos and played with them in Photoshop trying to get a realistic color representation of the real page but it was not meant to be today. My photo mojo is gone.

    Thanks to everyone who stopped by over the past week to check out and comment on my week 1 entry. I’m hoping to make it around to everyone this week but I won’t make any promises.
