A splash of colours - Gio

Hello, 
If there is something that puts you in the summer mood, it has to be vibrant colours. And with the neon colour trend this summer, we definitely have a lot of brightness around. Love this trend, so much fun.

So we thought about doing a colour week, and I challenged my DT to make samples with specific colour combos. I did not go "neon colour".. although very tempting... as I know it's would be fun, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. 
As I type this, I have not made my sample yet... so you never know... with the colour combo that I have to use, it IS possible to use neon colours..... we shall see. ... hmmm, we have those new neon Pebeo paints in stock....

So combo one: turquoise/teal - white - brown and Gio took the word "splash" quite literally on this one. 
LOOOOVE her samples, those cards are so much fun. I guess it's gelato time ;).







For the scrapbook page, I cut a white cardstock to size. I put a little amount of Cosmic Shimmer Misters Bilberry Crush in a syringe. I pressed on the seringe quickly the white cardstock. When dry, I added the Teal Wash in the same way. I cut some strips from some gauze and I sprayed them with the same mists. I rolled them until I get some simple flowers. To get them stay in place I used a head pin. I cut a triangle from Pebeo Cotton Pop Art canvas pad - A4, and I painted it lightly with DecoArt Traditions Artist Acrylic: Quinacridone Gold.
I decorated the fabric rolls with some tiny beads. I stamped the background using Woodware clear stamp: Alphabet background and Ranger Archival Ink pad: Jet Black .

I added a stitched border with the sewing machine. I glued the background to a piece of larger white cotton, and I stitched this one, too.
I painted a wooden hanger with Fresco Finish paint Beach Hut. I adhered the picture, the canvas triangle along with the fabric rolls to the cardstock. I glued the title made out of Tando Creative: Alphas Sheet style Block Serif, and I wrote the journaling.

I stamped the sentiment using CI-256 - Handy sentiments and Ranger Archival Ink pad: Jet Black .
