GIS CT: Grid Design with Color Blocking Embellishing

14/11/2013 by heatherawsumb

This is the second GIS CT assignment that’s gone up this week. Total fluke that they happened to fall in the same week. The assignment: Make a page that has a grid or blocked design. At least 3 of the compartments in your grid should have color-on-color embellishing.

I Love Baby Lions by Heather Awsumb: Astro Solids, Artsy Layered Paint No 1, Day Out Kit, Cardstock Tabs No 2, Away We Go Add on Paper Pack, Dragon Trainer Element Pack, Little Layette Kit, Arrow Flairs No 1, Flagged Sentiments No 1, Bakers Twine Sea by Katie Pertiet; Little Safari Paper Pack by Mindy Terasawa

I went pretty simple with 2×2 grid that I decided to build on the Artsy Layered Paint element by Katie Pertiet (since it was new to my stash at the time.) It acts almost as a shelf for my grid to stand on, grounding it to the page. I then picked a color scheme and browsed through my papers by color looking for good tone-on-tone papers to use. From there I thought that color-blocking the title across the different compartments would be a unique twist on the assignment instead of straight embellishing. Once I worked out the title and how to split it across the blocks I added little extra flourishes. I used a scalloped frame for my photo to make it stand out amongst all the right angle blocks. Something else that sticks out to me, but has nothing to do with the assignment, is that I didn’t use kraft as my background paper! So proud of myself for that đŸ™‚

    Great color combo, and the white circles are fab!
