Plum And Chartreuse: An Unlikely Pair

Hi scrappers! This week I bring you a page with a very unusual color combo: plum and chartreuse. I never would have paired these two together but now that I look at the finished product, I really love how it turned out! I feel like it especially works with the dress I was wearing in my photos. In case you haven’t noticed in my previous posts, I love traveling to places with my pro photographer husband with a pretty dress in my bag and taking some fun pictures in exotic places. These particular photos were taken in Joshua Tree National Park.

I started with some circle-print paper from DCWV’s Violet Leaf stack. I couldn’t believe I already had paper in my stash with this exact color combo. What are the odds?! It paired really will with some glitter embossed paper from DCWV’s Dark Romance stack that was the same shade of plum. I used some washi strip from 49 and Market and some skinny polka dot washi tape (again, how did I have products in my stash already in this crazy color??) I found some chartreuse and plum embellishments in my stash including Memory Place’s Adventure Awaits Diecuts and One Canoe Two’s Goldenrod Diecuts. I really love the lime wedges. They fit with the page so well!

This page was inspired by the September Mood Board over at A Cherry on Top Craft’s chat forum. Isn’t this mood board the coolest?? I really love this unlikely color combo and was inspired to use succulents, a bird and flowers. I even included a pretty dress, although the one in the mood board is a full on ball gown and I wish I had more occasions to wear a dress that gorgeous.

I used Becky Fleck sketch 294 for this page. I was a little off on my proportions and cut my chartreuse cardstock too small. It ended up being ok though because it gave me even more room for embellishments.

That’s all for this week. Thank you for visiting my page and I will see you next time!
