071216 CKC July Challenge #2

Challenge #2 Inspired by Cool Waters in Hot Weather 

Check out this fabulous color scheme where the cool colors 

of the water balance the warm yellow and orange - nicely.  

Purposefully combine cool and warm colors together,  

take a cue from the photograph itself, or even use something liquid 

when making your project ( ink, mist, paint, gesso, glossy accents, etc.)

 Susanne certainly hit the perfect inspiration for me 

while I was working on my beach hopping vacation mini-album,
or so I thought. I changed course when I found this wet photo from 2015:

Oh. My.

A quick look in my "Hot Mess" July kit didn't yield any of the orange color I desired, but don't forget about your secret stash - the "B" sides of your papers, that often yield what you have need of.
The butterfly paper had the orange color used in the double mat of my photos.

During the course of putting my page together I cut away a hidden section of the background
October Afternoon bug paper so I could fussy-cut a few of those cute bugs for embellishments!

(You won't tell, will you?)

As the page progressed I needed just a little something...
These came to the rescue with another pop of orange & the perfect sentiment.

I think I managed all of the colors in the inspiration!

Sometimes I have a tough time deciding when the page is done,
but with a busy background there isn't much extra real estate!

One of three insects fussy-cut & popped up for emphasis.

Now YOU go find something to scrap that is cool/warm or wet!
Make sure that you post your creation to the CKC Linky HERE
Happy scrapping!

Thanks for stopping by!
