Me & You - Sketch with Color

I'm so excited to have been asked to join the design team for Sketch With Color Challenge Blog!  This is my very first challenge post to share with you - I'm really looking forward to sharing a bunch more!

Here is our 6/15 challenge layout and color selection:

I truly thought this was going to be an easy layout, great sketch, some of my favorite colors - well it turned out not quite so easy!  I had to really concentrate on using ONLY these colors....sheesh, harder than you think!

Here's my final creation:

I started with the dark blue base page, then added a few purple hexagons with a stencil and ink that I seem to be rather addicted to these days!  The other hexagons are cut from a piece of paper.  I hope you are inspired to try this color combo out yourself.  Please share your finished design by uploading here.

Thanks for stopping by!

I'm back again today with my next creation as guest designer for Sketch With Color.  I was really inspired by the sketch this time, but found it quite challenging to come up with a color combination.

I finally settled on Monaco Blue, Violet and Linen...two of the three colors were ready for me in this nice collection from Quick Quotes.  I added the Violet chicken wire design on the base page with a bit of ink and a stencil....a technique I've learned to enjoy quite a bit recently!  I love being able to control the placement of the design on the page as well as the intensity of the color! 
You might have been looking at this thinking "Darn debi, you could've used a better picture" but I've done the blurring intentionally...you see, I am pre-designing layouts for my daughter's wedding when I find a pose that I really like so our photographer can have an idea of what I'm looking for on wedding day - thank goodness the photographer comes from a scrapbooking home so she understands completely my quest! So, this is NOT my daughter OR her wedding - but it will be replaced this fall with the real thing.
Thanks for joining me today - don't forget to upload your sketch creations and share them with us!
