Challenge 3 ...

... so a productive week. I've completed all 3 challenges on Eye For Design to use magazine articles for inspiration. Not sure if this will continue next week, or whether the challenges will have a different basis. Here's the article I chose (will have to buy some more non-crafty mags!):
I've focused on the colours of the stools, with a golden beige backdrop. The colours aren't showing up to well in the photo of my LO, but you get the gist.

Challenge 2 ...

... another magazine inspired LO. The colour combos are far more subtle in this one - I've focused on the sand colour of the bird's wing, the turquoise on the bag, and then the red and darker blue as accents. Sorry for the dark pictures, the light's not very good here this afternoon.Pulling this LO together was made easy for me, as most of it comes from Scarlet Lime's April kit. I've also used the latest challenge on Got Sketch.

The LO is about DD1 making her Rainbow's Promise.

Eye for design - color creative ...

... this class started yesterday. It's being taught by Christy Tomlinson from Scarlet Lime. Ever since I've been getting these kits, I've admired Christy's ability to put paper from different manufacturers together, so I thought it would be great to get some inside tips.

The first class/challenge was to take inspiration from magazines, pick out the colour palette and then use it for a LO.

Here's the article I chose -
And my resulting LO. I've used a grey, black, yellow and white palette.


I've also used the latest Butterfly Crafts challenge 11, which was to use a Disney Character as inspiration - mine being Sleeping Beauty and a 'True Love's Kiss'.
