Port Villa - ScrapTherapy June Challenge

Hi bloggers,

This week I've attempted the challenge over at ScrapTherapy.

The challenge is to use one of three rooms as inspiration for your layout. The layout I created used room number one as the inspiration. I picked out the blue and orange in the room and married it to colours in a photo from my holiday to Vanuatu this year (The blue shorts and orange tips on the shorts.) Moving on from this I decided to give Stampin' Up's colour chart a go by using the colour combination of Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point & So Saffron. I included the Dynamic Duo colour of Cajun Craze as well. The more I looked at this colour combo the more I thoroughly enjoyed creating the page. Extremely out of my comfort zone!!

So here is the room:


Here is my layout:


Here are some closeups:

They turned themselves when they uploaded... but you get the idea I'm sure!
 

In the first closeup I stamped on acetate with The Open Sea from Stampin' Up. Using the same stamp set I stamped on the penant banner using Pacific Point and Cajun Craze. The lighthouse is out of Mum's collection and the Anchor I bought from a local scrap booking shop in Townsville last weekend.

Please let me know your thoughts, much appreciated!

Till next time
