National Color Day! My Soul Laughs In Color, By Stephanie Buice

Hi everyone! Stephanie here today to celebrate National Color Day! Umm who knew there was even such a glorious thing? But out of all the "National" so and so days this is one that I am excited to celebrate, even if it's just by getting messy in my studio with all the colors.

To celebrate I decide to make a layout talking a bit about my love of color and how a day to celebrate it makes me pretty happy. I decided on the title "My Soul Laughs In Color" because for me that is pretty true, color is one of the ways I express my self most.

I Started my layout but die cutting a few flowers from patterned paper, I tried to place them in rainbow order so I could carry each color by row down the page. I added in some of the page enamel dots between each bow to help visually establish the color columns.

After my bows were glued down I decided to punch the colorful circles out of one of the 3x4 cards. I placed them in a row across the page then added matching enamels to them. I had fun picking out each paper piece to match the color it would land under, I love that Bella offers them in such a wide variety of colors and shapes...that made it easy!

 

For my title I decided to use a mix of alphabet stickers and stamps. I used some Black Tiny Text alphas and the Big & Bold stickers from the Genesis Kit, then I stamped out the word "color" from the Homespun Alphabet Stamps using different ink colors for each letter. I added in a few embellishments around it to dress it up.

I finished off my layout by adding in a Little Bits sticker and Enamel Heart to my journaling then giving it the seal of approval with the roller date stamp. Overall I think I love that this layout documents a little bit about myself and what makes me happy.

How are you going to celebrate National Color Day?

Thanks for stopping by today, Stephanie.
