Hi Pink Paislee friends! Karola here with another Hot Hues palette!
Thus, today we will play with colors! Our May color palette is – as usual – very inspiring, and picture inspire us in retro style. Maybe you’ll find some old pictures, for example: from your childhood? I chose a picture of my little Rose, but I edited it in Photoshop to added a retro look to my photo.
So when we have the photos – let’s see at this beautiful palette full of warm colors:
Hot Hues Color Challenge:
And here is mine entry to this colorfull challenge, I’ve made a Lo and mainly used Hometown Summer collection products:
To create an interesting shape of this Lo I used my Cricut Expressions machine, plus I cut out a few butterflies and a big red doilie. Most colors from Hometown Summer collection fits perfectly into our May color palette, but I used here also (for the contrast) Butterfly Garden – Ephemera die cuts - butterfly and hot air balloon. This is Lo about my daughter, who really can’t wait for the summer time.
I did also small handmade flowers made of Hometown Summer – Summer Fun paper – these flowers added a beautiful dimension!
