Bon Voyage–MCT June Sneak Peek

Hey there! I have a super special project to share with you all for the June My Creative Time Release. So, I am going to get right to it!

I made a mini album using the tag dies! I went on a trip to Michigan during May, and snapped a lot of photos using Instagram that I plan on printing out and putting to use.

So, as you can see, I decided to color the hot air balloon from Fly Away With Me. Here is the thing, I am not a alcohol marker expert by any means. I just worked with what I had (Prismacolor and BIC Markers.) until I was satisfied. I don’t even have the right cardstock! Nevertheless, I am more than thrilled with the result.

I was going to show all of the individual pages and what not, but I’m holding off for a bit – but it will be up, I promise.

For those that want to understand the color palette and everything. I based everything on the papers from the My Mind’s Eye Follow Your Heart, “Be Happy,” collection. I supplemented that with some paper from the Recollections Pastel cardstock pack. The solid cardstock I used is all Papertrey – Kraft, Aqua Mist, Melon Berry, and Sweet Blush.

The title or the sentiment that I used as my title, is from Fly Away With Me Sentiments.

My felt addiction continues – I used the coordinating die to cut out some clouds. It’s all about texture, right? And I couldn’t resist a bow. I used some Orange Zest Saddle Stitch for that.
