Where did the time go?!?! I meant to get these posted a week or so ago...I guess "back 2 school season" got in the way...lol
These are some more examples of what I taught at Convention....using COLOR, where to find inspiration, how to combine paper packets, etc. This particular board was using three colors in a triangle on the color wheel...here are some tips and hints:
Holiday Red, Pear & Crystal Blue with two neutrals, White Daisy and Desert Sand - again I let the Crystal Blue color in my photos play its part and only used the color minimally elsewhere.
Don’t be afraid to mix your Paper Packets to get just the right color scheme. Remember that you can use the back side as well and many times this is the side I use when mixing things up.
For masculine cards, let your neutral color dominate and use the other triad of colors minimally to create a dramatic feel without all the frill.
White space is HOT, HOT, HOT right now and as much as I enjoy distressing, sometimes Simpler is better. . . white space creates the illusion of being simple and often eloquent.
When using clear cards, have some of your elements on the front and some on the inside. . .just make sure to cover up all your top elements by cutting an identical piece to hide all the glue and 3-D Foam Tape.

On this layout, I let the blue in the photos act as the majority of my Crystal Blue in the color scheme (only adding it again in the title bar)...
