Create with Connie and Mary-Favorite NEW In Color!

I don’t even KNOW if its possible to pick just one color…so I am going to go with the first color I chose to create a scrapbook layout! Obviously that color was really speaking to me and I have to say I LOVE how it turned out. I hope it inspires you too!

I am also curious to see if the Design team has similar favorites or if we have quite the spread! Its always so fun to see each week how we incorporate the challenge!

The base of my page is the new Evening Evergreen and I just love it! It is such a nice rich green that looks fantastic with these lighter colors. I added interest and texture to my page by just punching a bunch of 1 inch circles and adhering them flat to the layout. This is a great way to add a design element without any background stamping.

I used the flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper and colored them in with a variety of Stampin’ Blends.

Evening Evergreen is such a nice base to showcase some brighter colors and make them really pop on your page. Here is stamped the sentiment with Fresh Freesia ink on the coordinating card stock. The sentiment is from the Color & Contour stamp set. Flowers in Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia look so awesome on this rich dark background. The leaves are colored with the new Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blend.

These flowers are colored with the Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends. I brought in a Pale Papaya photo mat and some of the new Pale Papaya and White Ribbon too. It is such a lovely color that really fills a gap in our standard color offering.

You will notice in my paper crafting that I like to create little areas of interest on my pages. Typically on photos or up in the top corners of my pages.

This view gives you a sample of each of these! I love to add sentiments or phrases onto my pages to help bring my feelings about the content to life. Stampin’ Up! has no shortage of amazing stamp sets to help us in our design.

If you have not pulled out this luscious green to play with yet, I really encourage you to do so. It is quite distinct when paired up with some of our current greens and as you can see it really does make a stunning backdrop for this scrapbook layout.

I can’t wait to see what the rest of team has chose as their Favorite New In Color! You can go BACK to see what Melissa’s choice is or NEXT to see what Connie has selected! Please feel free to leave a comment. Its always nice to get feedback!
