Greetings From Big Sur

Details, Details, Details!

Hey scrappers! I bring you another page done for a holiday challenge that is decidedly not holiday themed. It's not that I don't like Christmas, it's just that I don't have any Christmas photos at my disposal.

This photo was taken during our Summer vacation in Big Sur, (the same trip with the cows from my previous post.) We pulled off one of the many turnouts on the winding mountain road to take this photo. Behind us is actually the ocean, but it was covered with mist so thick that it looked like a bottomless abyss.

I started with the blue postage themed paper from Prima Marketing's Botanical collection. I thought it worked well for a travel themed page. I paired it with red striped paper from The Paper Studio's Kellerkurtz & Company Square stack. It's simplicity balanced out the busy blue paper.

This page's sketch came from Stuck?! Sketches' December challenge. I love the pennant banner and the opportunity to add so many little details.

The color palette is from Color, Story, Inspiration's 220th case file. I liked the juxtaposition of the muted red with pale pastels.
