Beyond Grey has a new challenge up this week.  I really love this bright, summery pallette.  I think it lends itself really well to late spring/summery type layouts and is good for boy or girl pages.  Don't forget to check out their sponsor Di's Digi Downloads for lots of cute inspiration too.

Here is what I created with this color combination:

I ended up using a little green for the background, but the real star is the teal on the color file I think.  I liked combining my own painting with the watercolored Amy Tangerine paper.  I also had fun shading the letter stickers.  I went back over them with a white pen to make the letters stand out more.  Of course I couldn't resist adding on some sequins at the end.
Oh yeah, I trimmed down the top photo so it lost it's white border.  I painted one back on with opaque white mister huey.  It's not  perfect, but I think it has a neat beachy effect.

Supplies: Amy Tangerine Viridian vignette paper, color magic memory files, color magic alpha stickers, white foam thickers (I feel like I use these on everything now), sketchbook fabric stickers and flyers, sequins ripped off of this ribbon and martha stewart journaling stickers.  I used these inks together on the color magic stuff using a paper towel to blend where needed.  I used coltfoot yellow, cold ice, blossom tree, rose bud and blue jay.

Don't forget to play along the challenge, it can be anything you want - a layout, card, or other project.  I can't wait to see what you create!
