"Buon Giorno" (5th DT Work) LO for Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #79: Primary Colors

Scrapping with various printed pattern papers, I suddenly felt at a loss when I saw this week's challenge requirement.  It's a good thing that my winnings from previous month's challenge has arrived.  Chosen items from my winnings were primarily Christmas papers & Baby Girl-themed papers . . . though with a mix of other miscellaneous papers.  This is where I got to use one of the miscellaneous papers from Robin's Nest.  So, on to the challenge!!

Kaboodle Doodles Challenge #79 is to Make Use of Primary Colors.  Winner to be drawn randomly with sponsor prize of 4 images from Meljens Designs on Tues, Aug. 16, 2011 at US timezone.  Participants have until Sun., Aug. 14, 2011 to link their entries at the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog.   Below is my submitted DT work:

SUPPLIES: Paper: Robin’s Nest, Star Paper Corp., Foam Letter Stickers: All About Scrapbooking, Digital Stamp: Meljens Design, Digital Flourishes:  Cheri Wenger of MyGraphico, Acrylic Stamp Sentiments: Studio 18, Other: Ribbon, Sketch: Rochelle Spears of Colorful Creations, TOOLS: Glueshot: Stanley, Paper Shapers: Provo Craft.

DESIGN NOTES: The challenge being the use of primary colors . . . I made a quick research and found out that these are composed of 3 colors: red, blue & green for a painter's perspective.  For color printing, the primary colors are: red, blue & yellow.  So, I decided to combine the 2 perspective and came out with 4 primary colors to play with: red, blue, yellow & green.

Inspiration Sketch by Rochelle Spears of Colorful Creations

I started with an inspiration sketch by Rochelle Spears at Colorful Creations and modified it to suit my photos' and paper dimensions.  Though what I had were 4 big photos instead of lots of smaller ones, I decided to fit it all in leaving out many of the sketch elements, thus, making it my own.  I matted my photos as one big photo and adhered it on Robin's Nest - Jean paper.  I then bordered it with bright red ribbons pleated on both sides meeting at the center.  I had my title on top and the 3 stamped sentiments in bright yellow to call attention together with the digital flourishes.  As finishing touches, I chose Meljen's Lazy Susan Buggies (flowers) Image placed at the center of the layout.  This image was printed in cream cardstock  . . . bordered in black ink . . . triple matted in blue scalloped paper, red and green papers.

Viola!  A simple but a calling attention LO. . . Though simple it took some time to finish the ribbon pleating together with the  . . . ouch . . . ouch. . .  accidental applying of hot glue on my fingers . . . ouch . . . should not be in a hurry doing that!! lol  But I was satisfied with the outcome. Just love the ribbon pleating technique.  The base paper is new & the swirls are old images. =)

NOTE: The photo was taken on my parent's anniversary celebration.
