Scrapbook Inspiration - Rare Oddities

This week as the lead up to Halloween we have chosen Rare Oddities by Graphic 45 as our inspiration (Our NEW Linen Look ribbons are perfect for Graphic 45 papers in general): 

These are our suggestions to coordinate with this range (just click on the item name for link to product on our website) :

Roses - Orange, Green, Purple

Purple mesh, 3 tone & 2 tone ribbon

NEW Linen Look Ribbons - Olive, Chestnut, Rust

Petals - Purple, Taupe, Black

Colour Inspiration - Orient

This weeks colour inspiration is all about the orient and in the mixed colour flower pack of the same name the colours are fire engine red, white, black and red.

We teamed the petals with our red mesh ribbon, white crinkle satin edge organza, black satin, red cobweb ribbon. Our petals corodinate well with our apple blossoms, cherry blossoms and small flowers.

Summer Brights

Maria has shared a layout with us that uses one of the new retail flower packs - Summer Brights, paired with Pink Paislee "Solstice" and Simple Stories "Homespun" which work perfectly with our white mesh and white tassel ribbon. Her heading "Sisiters" has been cut with Sizzix die Sunset to create a lovely fresh layout.

Colour Inspiration - Garden Mint

This week's inspiration is fresh from the garden with a combination of mint, white, ivory and natural lattice jute:

Colour Inspiration - Romance

A romantic blush with silver and white is this week's colour inspiration:

Colour Inspiration - Sunshine

Summer sunshine and blooming flowers are what we are currently experiencing, so that is today's inspiration:

Colour Inspiration - Beach

It's summer in the Southern Hemisphere and the beach is the place to head if you are lucky enough to be on holidays or live close by...and the beach is the inspiration for this weeks colour combo. Neutrals such as ivory, white and natural combined with royal blue, blue and yellow.

Embossed Petals

Sometimes a layout needs a pop of something to finish it off. 
We like what Peta did with the petals to make them stand out.

Brian and Dawn

"I was using these beautiful vintage tones on the layout of my in-laws wedding, but they were too muted. I swiped some versamark ink over them, then dipped them in gold embossing powder and heated. This made them stand out a little more and when combined with the gold stamens, Damask flower and gorgeous ribbons, the whole layout felt complete. Vintage doesn't have to be dull."
