Hi everyone, it's Anita here today to share another Deconstructed Layout with you.

I am so loving the Capture The Moment Kit from Frosted Designs- I have made several layouts with it now and every single one looks different! Be sure to get one while they last. 

Today I want to talk about using a LOT of the same color, without overwhelming your layout with it. 

You CAN do it!

Here is a look at my layout. Of course, I had to have some pink on it. I used Prima papers from the Capture The Moment kit, and Princess Collection Kit.

This is my second layer from the bottom, and I love the pattern, but wanted more color. So after I punched the edges, I inked it- and I mean I really inked it! The ink extends about 2- 2.5" in from the edge. 

I started with the lightest color of ink I wanted to use, then added a darker color of ink

 just along the edge of the paper.

Next up, I used my VersaMark  around one side at a time, and added a bit of texture with Lindy's Stamp Gang Hibiscus Rose Orange Embossing Powder.

I also used Lindy's on my Blue Fern Studio's Chippie- this time Golden Angel Wings. You can see on the upper layer of paper, just under the chipboard, I stamped using the Heart Flourish Splash stamp and an ink one shade darker.  I added the small burlap flowers to the centers of a couple of larger flowers for the corners.

 I added more flowers, butterfly and brad, all included in the Capture the Moments kit, to the lower corner.

I also added some faux stitching with my Signo White pen.

This photo illustrates how I wanted to use my color how it all came together. For the most part my layout is a monotone, mainly PINK. However, I separated each layer of pink with a NEUTRAL. Starting from the corner there is;

1. The background page

2. the PINK punched page

3. the neutral flower die-cut and chipboard

4. the PINK edge of the punched paper

5. the white portion of the punched paper

6. the PINK cardstock

7. the photo

So, the moral of our story is this:

if you want to use one color in abundance, be sure to place it between layers of neutral colors

and it will be fabulous!

I hope you give this a try, and I would love to see how it turns out!

Hello there crafters!!  It's Brandi here popping in to share some projects I recently made using the fabulous Prima Seashore Collection in store!!

Summer is in full swing here in the Sunshine State which means warm HOT weather, tons of sun, and weekend trips to the beach!!  And what better way to celebrate summer than with these fabulous beach totes?!?

Aren't they adorable?!?  I used my Cricut Explore machine and some purse SVG's from SVG Cuts to cut everything out! 

Then I scored and inked all the appropriate edges and started putting it all together :-)

Easy peasy, right?!?  And perfect for this time of year :-)

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
