Monday challenge: It's All About Colors!

Hi everyone, Mou here with today's challenge which is all about colors!

Image from Design Seeds via Pinterest

I have with me the very talented Amy Heller who created this...

 

And this is what Amy says, "I instantly loved Mou's choice for her color challenge. The palette is just gorgeous and perfect for using Cakewalk and/ or Woodland Park. I decided to create a page using a combination of the two, using the yellows and creams from Cakewalk and the beautiful pink-oranges and rich greens from Woodland Park. The two collections work beautifully together and I'm really loving the result. "

And let me share with you my take! When I saw this color palette, my first thought was October Afternoon Cakewalk! I liked the way the colors are presented in stacked bands on this color card. and thought the Sugar Stix paper would be just right. Plus it had a built-in focal point in the form of the star. I cut the star out with craft knife and placed my photo from the back of the paper like you'd place a photo in a frame.

 

Then I layered elements from the Cakewalk Flower Sack, Doo-Dads, Tin Pin, Little Flyers,Alpha and Mini Market stickers around the photo and journaled on the 'Celebrate' journal card.

You can take this challenge too and when you do, please upload your creations to the October Afternoon Flickr gallery for us to see and be inspired! Have fun!

That is one awesome layout. I love all the stitching and then cut out SUPER Fab. I'd be so nervous as I am NOT brave enough w/my sewing machine I am what you call a "messy sewer" But this sure does makes me want to jump and try!
