Color Challenge: Beach vibes

Hi and welcome to July’s Color challenge. It’s Chrissy here to give you some summer inspiration. This month I’ve chosen this image as my starting point for a summer palette. I’m about to go on vacation to a seaside town which has many colourful beach huts, they always look so cute!

I love the smiling faces taking centre stage in the page, complemented by the burst effect from both the elements and the background brush effect. All of this creates a page I want to take my time over, to see all the details. 

Sharon used Photo Journal Clusters 02; Vintage Artistry Wedgewood Ephemera 02 ; Botanical Colors Chartreuse Element Pack; Color Swatch Grove Ephemera; Color Swatch Teal Ephemera; Color Swatch Willow Ephemera; ARToptions Mini Mix 28; Metsa Paper Pack; Star Glows 02; Watercolor Sketchbook 01 Element Pack.

Next up is Rachel (Rache77) with this lovely page. The chippy papers add so much texture and movement. I feel I want to run straight into the page and down onto that beach. The cute little embellishment cluster really sets it off.

Rachel used Chippy Foundations Paper Pack 08; Chippy Botanist Paper Pack 02; South Beach Element Pack; Artsy Botanical: Cerrel Value Pack; Bead Scatterings 04.

Last but certainly not least is Stacia with this gorgeous landscape page. The horizontal lines and colours create a calming page, and I also love seeing herons, they’re so striking in their height, I love the reflection in the water too. 

Stacia used Scattered Pictures Vol. 04 Layered Template 12; Defined Vintage French Clippings Brushes and Stamps 03; White on White Paper Pack 02.
