Free- Red White and Blue Inspiration at the Prima blog



I'm up on the Prima blog today with a red, white and blue palette perfect for the 4th of July. Although  I don't celebrate it here in Canada, I though I could combine those colors to create a summer beach layout.


I got inspired by the 12x12 Elemental stencil. The shape reminded me of the ocean's waves and I wanted to create a serene beach layout.


 I used pieces of papers in both reds and blues to match the July 4th red-white and blue palette.

 

I used deep, rich Shimmerz sprays in both blues and turquoise to get the water in different shades, like the real ocean. I used Jenny B Blue, Sea Foam and Rock-a-fella blue. This was the perfect layout to combine with a challenge at Shimmerz which requires you to use a mask. Check out the challenge here on the Shimmerz blog. 



I used lots of matching Prima flowers for embellishments and the resist canvas alphabet which I didn't even color.

  12. Gorgeous, Keren, as always. I never saw your layout that I didn't like. How do you store your layouts? Each one of them deserves to be framed in a shadow box :) I don't think I congratulated you before on joining the Prima DT. So happy for you! They are lucky to have you, you are very talented and inspiring designer.
