It's The Little Things That Make Life Big

Brown, White and Gray

Hi scrappers. I’m back again as a design team member for Color Dare challenges. I chose to use a picture my photographer husband took of himself. This one was taken while he was in the water where he often photographs waves.

Since my husband is a photographer, I knew I wanted to use this Vicki Boutin Say Cheese paper as my base. I double matted my photo with a scrap of dotted paper and some gray cardstock and used an Idea-Ology pocket card as a big bold title. I then layered in some film strips and ephemera from the Nature Study Collection by 49 and Market. I broke out some pretty, handmade tags I bought from albumlovehandmade on Etsy since the brown tones matched the look I wanted. I also used some little cardboard picture cards by Moking that were all in shades of pale brown and gray

The challenge for Color Dare #616 is to use brown and white plus one other color. I obviously chose gray which is an unusual choice for me, but I felt matched the black and white photo and I also wanted to make a more masculine page. Join us and submit your own creation! I want to see the color you chose!

This page was also made using Cherry on Top sketch 390. I chose one big photo instead of two small ones, but liked where the title was since I already had a big bold title in mind.

That’s all for this week. Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you’ll come join us at Color Dare too!
