Live...AMMCC7 36

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by :) This afternoon, Scott and I drove Connor to Tuscon which is a 1 hour and 1/2 drive away, so he could attend a rock concert with a friend. While he was at the concert, we went to dinner and a movie. Just felt more comfortable doing that with him than him making that drive so late at night.

It's time for an all new Mixed Media Color Challenge! I'm so happy to see so many beautiful and inspiring projects in the gallery week after week. For nearly the next two weeks, we will be playing with the following color combination: Orange, Yellow and Kraft/Brown:

In all honesty, I can't even begin to tell you how difficult this color combination was for me to create with!!! The color orange is at the VERY bottom of the totem pole of my favorite colors. I love to see the color orange in use on others projects but I seem to have a creative block when it comes to using it. Once I got over the feelings of impending doom and knew I had to just get over my fears, I created this layout featuring a photo of Meredith and Connor that was taken several years ago while we were on Spring Break vacation visiting Disney's Wild Animal Park in Orlando, Florida. That mural painted on the wall behind the sweet photo is a real work of art!

I pulled out a piece of patterned paper, applied a coat of gesso then using the Brick Wall Stencil and modeling paste, I added some texture and design.  

I added a few flowers and chipboard pieces from my stash:

and for background color, I simply combined various colors of Distress Stains. When the ink was dry, I randomly stamped the text stamp from Collage Backgrounds:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Skissedilla challenge:

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit ~ I hope I have inspired you to mix things up! Please hop on over to A Mixed Media Color Challenge for COMPLETE details on how to join in the fun and for some awesome inspiration from Sue!
Be Sweet ;)
