Beautiful Blues
The hues of the infinite sky, the deep seas, and the vast oceans, all appear blue to our human eyes. Blue signifies depth and distance, offers a calm depiction of peace. Some soothing shades of blue appear icy, others are invigoratingly brilliant or intense. Couture Cardstock’s Serenity Monochromatic Family offers all of these elements.
For my layout today, “Beautiful Boyhood”, I used several shades from this collection. For the background I used Harmony, accented with some vanilla, white, black, and teal colored paint. The embellishments were created using rub-ons and stamps on top of Peace of Mind, Calm, and Zen.
Tomorrow I will be showing you some gorgeous products to accompany the beautiful blue hues of this collection!
