Welcome to the May Colour Suite. This month I tried something a little new. My recent Colour Suites have all felt super bold and bright so I challenged myself to come up with something that felt light and airy. I immediately knew I wanted to include lots of neutrals this month. White and tan were natural choices. I paired them with a super trendy mint green, a pop of orange and pink that is almost mauve like.
Good Day by Summer Fullerton
Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock, Patterned Paper from Webster’s Pages/American Crafts/My Minds Eye/Heidi Swapp, Heidi Swapp chipboard/diecut heart embellishments, Studio Calico Wood Veneer Embellishment, Technique Tuesday Stamp, Close to my heart Ink, Jillibean Soup Corrugated People, Mist Studio Calico, Jillibean Soup Resin Stick Pink (pin removed), My Minds Eye Enamel Dots, Silhouette Cutting System/Images, Ek Success heart Punch, We R Memory Keepers Corner Rounder and font Veteran Typewriter
Since
my goal for this layout was light and airy I knew I was going to embrace the
white and use the colours as secondary elements on my layout. My layout uses
almost no orange in fact it almost feels like an after thought however since my
goal was light and neutral my intent was to keep the colour usage to a minimum.
I even went as far as to turn my photos black and white to further emphasize
the light feeling I was trying to convey. Imagine taking a different approach
to these colours, embrace the colour your end result will be completely unique
and different.
Happy crafting ~ Summer

Wonderful layout and love how you used the 3 colors on a larger scale and used the other colors as more of an accent. These are so out of my comfort zone as I too love bold colors, that it might be fun to try this challenge. Hmmmmmmmmmmm..... Thanks for the challenge idea.

Really PRETTY!! It's funny how we never usually choose color schemes like that unless prompted to do so!
