How Could I Resist Something Called "Summer of Color...?"

Hey friends - have you heard about Summer of Color?  It's a six-week long blog party put on by Kristin of Twinkle Twinkle.  Every Monday starting on June 3rd, she is putting up a color prompt, and you can play along by making anything you want in that color scheme!  How fun is that???!!! 

Anyhoo, the first week's colors are Citron Green and Turquoise.  Here's what I did...

This is my MDS (Multi-day Spread) in my road atlas journal, for June 11th through 13th.  I took a few progression photos with my iphone, to give you an idea of how this page came together...


Here's how it looked before I started...

This is my collage ephemera helper.  His name is Willie, and he is not in the mood to have his picture taken right now...

I glued down a layer of collage...

brayered on some gesso...

Sprayed a bunch of different turquoise and green inks and let them drip...

Added some pattern with turquoise and green acrylic, plus a little white with gesso...

Added a sweet puppy (from Best Friends Magazine), traced around my hand, and filled it in with some doodling, and then started my journaling...

and here is the finished spread again...

The orange and pink accents are done with molotow markers.  The image of the boy with his arms out is cut from a coffee table book I found at a thrift store.

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you are having an awesome week!
