Journey Layout ~ Color Dare #574

This week we're giving you our fun Tic Tac Toe color challenge. First pick your colors by row, column or diagonal. After that you can use any of the other colors in the grid. You can even use them all. What you can't do is add other colors not in the grid. See the graphic for the fine print rules. 

We reference Close To My Heart colors but you can use any brand you have as long as you can make a very close match. Kind of close doesn't count. Be very careful with your colors if you're doing multiple challenges. Make any paper craft you like. When you're ready to join our challenge click here for the direct link to Color Dare #574.

Taking colors from the photos, I started with the left to right diagonal: Journey, Silver, Honey Butter. I then added Limeade and Mist. Using the stencil seen below and blending brushes I created the background. The larger photo is popped up on thin foam tape. I added journal strips and lightly added some Journey ink to soften the look. Journey sequins are sprinkled around to add some prettiness.

In the photos below you can see a close-up of the Silver Dots added with a Silver Paint Marker.  It makes a nice edge so your eye doesn't roam off the page. On the right you can see the title a bit better. I used our Journey Glitter Paper and Adhesive Sheets so I could make a sticker. The delicate lines of the word were much easier to place on the layout as a sticker rather than to use liquid glue. 

                     

I used the stencil in the upper left corner. This is unique in that you use the stencil 4 times. You rotate it to get the full image! It's a lot easier than it might sound. The other two stencils in the pack work the same way.
