Forever Yours

Vintage Blue and Yellow

Greetings scrappers! This week I bring you a sketch with a lot going on. I didn’t intend to mix so many patterns, but I like how it turned out. The photo I used is of my husband and I in the Mojave. We were driving home from a trip to Borrego Springs and saw a ton of pretty yellow flowers on the side of the road. We pulled over in front of some windmills and took this photo together.

I started with a piece of blue-gray floral patterned paper from The Paper Studio’s Theodosia Square stack. This stack has a lot of great vintage looking prints but the paper is very thin so I mounted it on some gray-brown kraft paper from The Paper Studio’s Affinity stack. I used a combination of paper scraps and Tim Holtz pocket cards and Idea-Ology Ephemera to create a layered collage. Everything in the Tim Holtz collection has a vintage, Victorian feel and matched my background paper perfectly.

This page was created for the June challenge at Kraft +. Isn’t their mood board gorgeous?! I think yellow and navy would make for some stunning wedding colors! It reminds me of that episode of Family Guy where Stewie says “I know it’s been overdone, but your colors should be yellow and gray.” I laughed so hard because at the time, yellow and gray weddings were on ever wedding blog and Pinterest page. Maybe yellow and navy will be the next big trend!

This page was also made for Sketch and Scrap’s June challenge. I liked that layered collage look in the sketch and elaborated on it by adding more components and detail. I used one big photo instead of the two smaller ones. I kept the title where it was and used Thickers chipboard alphabet stickers and kraft and white stickers by Amy Tangerine.
