Hi lovelies! In my search for crafty inspiration, I often find myself on the Crate Paper blog. They just announced their August Crate Color Challenge, and luckily the colors matched the Crate I have on hand - their Toy Box collection that I have left over from my April Lucky Girl Crafts kit, A Boy & His Toys. Woohoo! I love when things get serendipitous!
The color palette this month is: Sand - Khaki - and Denim Blue
Even though this color palette makes me think more of boys, I decided to take a girly approach to the challenge.
You're allowed to use any color of Denim, so I ink distressed the Build blue pattern to make it darker - like well worn jeans. I added a strip of ruffled & scalloped Playdate paper, and elements from the Toy Box Accent Cuts.
Being a short girl, I also had some extra denim fabric from the cuff of my very own jeans that I made into a sweet shabby chic flower element. The center of the flower is a chipboard checkers piece that I epoxied and added a few pearls and glitter to. I adore how it turned out!
A few vintage-looking brads from American Crafts, CTMH and Making Memories, along with a mulberry Petaloo flower add delicate detailing to a masculine color scheme.
I also added some of the coordinating chipboard and stickers (and a bit of CTMH Liquid Glass epoxy accent) to finish it off. I made the metal charm using scraps from the Build and Accent Cuts papers, layered in to a K&Co. charm from last November's LGC kit.
The final product was laid out on a Core'dinations Core Essentials - Cream of Wheat dry embossed paper that was dry brushed with a pearly acrylic paint.
