SPARKLY DAY ~ SUMMER OF COLOR 5

Hello and a happy weekend to everyone

Today I would like to share my take on the Summer of Color 5  ~ Week 3
not sure if I have missed the deadline again , but that is ok. It is really challenging me with the colour palette's as these are colours I normally probably wouldn't use, so it is a challenge.




SPARKLY DAY


Recently whilst away in Europe and we had literally just arrived at our accommodation in Budapest I received a message from our daughter with this photo attached saying "whilst Victor is a million miles away Lucas thought it would be safe to ask " Yes our baby daughter got engaged. Lucas had asked our permission a few weeks before and we had to keep it a secret, but we didn't know when he was going to pop the question to our daughter.


I knew I had this old PP with this verse on it, the colour hues and  so I thought it would be perfect for the challenge and photo


Also The Sparkly Day Chippy came in very handy. I used art paper again and painted it in mauve hues to put under the photo and rip and add to the side of the layout. I also used some stamping 


A little cluster with some mauve thread that was my Mum's . The chippy butterfly I  covered with gesso and coloured mauve. Some mauve paint drips

Thank you Lou for the chippies I have used. I also used a flair that has the word Always on it from StudioFourteen40

Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for calling by 

LOVE , PEACE AND HAPPINESS

Awww.....such a beautiful love story....her ring looks SO sparkly here....that title...love the bling of it & the little wooden tag is super cute! Good on you using this colour combo. As you know, even though I feel OK about scrapping purple now - like you it would certainly NOT be a 'go to' combo!! You've done it with flair!!! Well, you have actually, got some in there...... LOL!!
