color combo challenge #248

hello crafty friends! 

the new color combo #248 is LIVE! the colors this week are pistachio - taupe - soft blue - light grey - peach and here is what i came up with -

"your SMILE" 

 i based my layout on color combo #248: sweet serenity 

 i used all five colours from the colour palette on my page. my creative boost came from inspiration photo #1: focus on product: twine {wrapped twine around the layout}. other inspiration: inspiration photo #3: various clocks and punched paper edges edges (idea: the clock and the filigree silver edge); inspiration photo #4: banners and buttons {idea: green banner and small buttons}; inspiration photo #2: different sized cogs {idea: flowers}. 

and here are some close ups from my project: 

i started with a white cardstock, PRIMA marketing "clocks" 12x12" stenciled mask and modeling paste.

after the paste has dried, i used light grey PANPASTELS to colour the dimensional clocks. i cut of 1cm from each side of the white cardstock, distressed the edges with TIM HOLTZ' "broken china" ink pad and layered it on green pattern paper. 

i used WEBSTER'S PAGES "new beginnings" collection. the designs are amazing and i could embellish my page just by fussy cutting the cute elements from the pattern papers.

the amazing chippie is from WORDS or WHATEVER "clock and gear corner". i covered the clock with embossing powder first to create the distressed look and then i coloured the chippie with distress ink.

i cut the cogs from cardstock using TIM HOLTZ' "movers and shapers cogs" die. i colored them with distress ink "broken china" and "shabby shutters'.

for the title i used pattern paper and WEBSTER'S PAGES alphabet stickers.
