Week Two of Colour or is it Color?

I am having the best time with my class at Big Picture Classes.  I am still blown away by the international composition of the class, as well as the talent and kindness of everyone.

I didn't really know what I would learn, or what the content would really be about.  While the class is about color, and how to use different colors in your layouts, it is also about the techniques that the instructor uses.  She uses a lot of layering and dimensional details.  I'm challenging myself to go outside of my comfort zone and try something new.

This week we are focusing on yellow and orange.  These are two of my favorite colors (I'm always running out of yellow!).  First, I completed my color cards for the week:

Yellow Color Card

The flowers were flattened in the scanner.  When you see it in person the blue is less obvious and a flowers are a little softer.

Orange Color Card

Orange always makes me think HOT.  So, of course I thought of our MS HotShotz team.  It was fun to make the flame border.


Finally, there was a Build It lesson.  Here is the sketch from Nic.

I really loved this layout, and was inspired.  I followed her directions and practiced layering and creating dimension. I also added a second page to make it a two-page layout.  I think that it turned out pretty cute!  On the right hand side the border is like a fringe, and adds dimension when you see it in person.
