A Collection of Color

 

Today Leslie brings us a beautiful Layout full of Autumn colors and bold design.

Hi everyone! Leslie Ashe here with a layout I made for Prima today. This page is about my new favorite addition to my vintage camera collection.  

We LOVE to go antiquing. Every time we see an antique store – we have to stop. I’m always on the lookout for fun vintage finds for my home.

Especially camera’s, they tell SUCH a story. I see the perfect one & I HAVE to have it. When I brought this new baby home, I had to photograph it & scrap it right away.

 

I already had the perfect Prima color palette on my scrap desk ready to use. I knew right away that this photo would be perfect for what I chose.

Fall is my FAVORITE season. I think the colors are so warm  & inviting.  I chose a pale yellow as my base & neutral tones such as creams, rusts, and browns with a punch of turquoise as a contrast.

 

Tips & Technique’s:

I used paint with my circular mask as a punch of contrast with the turquoise paint. Just the perfect bit of “whimsy” I was aiming for.

 

The resin frames are one of my favorite Prima releases from CHA summer. You can do SO much with them. With mine here, I first backed them with patterned paper and then took some copper ink & with my finger, spread it all over the resin frame. I love the after effect of the slightly copper frame with the browns & turquoise papers. I then took my copper ink & with my finger, rubbed a few flowers that I had placed on the page.

 

Using mist not only for the background, but also for just the perfect touch of color on resist canvas (my border around the photo) is another fun step I did.
