Orange Crush - YUMMY - Love the classic cars. I like the placement of the pics and embells. Looking forward to seeing your album of this event. (We had to sell our '51 & '58 Fords when we retired to downsized accommodation. I took 72 pics at one of the car shows we attended several years back.... too many for an album.)
shcg: AWESOME combo of colors. It works perfect for these pictures and the title great. I like how you used a light blue where most of us would combine orange with dark blue. Great LO!
SHCG - Takin you up on your invite to critique these before you post 'em in the LO thread. Totally fantastic what you're doing w/ this book - uniting the LOs w/ monochromatic themes & pin-up touches. Kudos for making ricrac so HIP, too! I love the title & orange (the fruit & the color) theme on this page. The photos are great & the little roadsigns are to-die-for cute. Initially, I wasn't a fan of the contrasting combo w/ light blue on this but it totally grew on me - gives a cool retro feel plus matches the vintage pin-up well. Sensational page, Brenda!
Love, love, love the colors here! Great cars( love the colors), great photos, great design... The ricrac, staples and dymo labels are so well used! The way you did the title is cool!
This is for the SHCG BWC #14-Complementary Colors. The pictures of the '50 (top) and '37 (bottom) Fords are from an annual local classic car show that we enjoyed last summer. The copper pearl (top) car was one of my faves at the show which is how I got the idea for the title. There is no additional journaling because this will be a page in a series for an album I plan to make for this event.
Thanks to Marlene's (scrappygal8), Go Monochromatic BWC last year, I decided the whole album might be monochromatic and I started with a lo on a yellow '55 Chevy Nomad followed by a black '69 Chevy Chevelle. (Please refer to my gallery.) Since I initially wanted to go all monochromatic, but still meet this challenge, and get closer to finishing this album, I made the page mostly orange. I've also decided to use recurring motifs and styles including pinup art, two pps and a solid cs, ricrac, staples, road signs, rubons--whenever possible.
I cut the top orange chippie into a half slice. I layered the road signs to cover up that they're uneven scrap pieces cut from an old stash pp. The pinup girl is by Billy De Vorss.
The scan cut off a sliver of all sides of the page.
