Hey guys! I am so in love with the Vicky Boutin Art Crayons that you can find in the color kit. And my love for abstract art just continues with these new toys; it’s probably just a phase, but I want to make the most out of it. I believe that if you document a specific style while scrapbooking, you also document a piece of you through the way you’re working. Here’s what I created for today:
I barely use black as a shade on any of my layouts when it comes to watercolor, but I really wanted to change that up today. My assignment for the week was also to not use any flowers; and I have no difficulties doing that when it’s about abstract art as a main style. I find that flowers and art make me cringe anyway.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
Look at how the magenta pops when you use black as a contrast! It gives the layout a different feel and I am definitely encouraged to use black a lot more!
I mixed the black with little pops of mint and yellow; this creates some interest and breaks the whole look of magenta and black.
Love this closeup so much! You know me – I’m all for color atmospheres and mint, pink, magenta, black, white and yellow just make me sing with joy!
This spotted/dotty black and white paper frames and embraces the whole artsy look. If you think your artsy background needs something else: go for a black and white pattern! Black and white stripes, dots, spots, sprinkles – whatever! It will most likely work.
