Week 3 | Challenge 5: Use color/texture to reflect the mood of the page

This week we will be talking about how to enhance your storytelling by the colors and textures you use in your pages. We will be talking about colors, moods and textures and to start this week here is your challenge. Here is a TUTORIAL: Color Wheel and moods to help you out just in case.

Here's your challenge:
* Pick a photo (or collection of photos or go photoless), and enhanced your story by adding color and textures that reflect the mood or emotions of the story.
* Scrap them in a layout that has at least 50% of any TLP products. Journaling is optional since the photos should be the primary storyteller.
* Post your layout in this thread and in our gallery.

The deadline for this challenge is September 1st at 11 pm EDT.
The Pollys will choose one layout as our Storyteller Standout from this challenge for a $10 prize.
One random layout will receive a $5 participation prize.




Let's see some examples:

Christine's page: She used the Storyteller's collaboration. Christine's sample use the colors of brown and green, which makes us think of nature, growth, calmed moments.


Mine using the Storyteller's Collaboration too. My page is mostly read and black and white, which makes you think of LOVE and PURITY.


Renee's page: Renee's page is dark, she was just not having a good day and it is so represented in here heartfelt page with strong colors.


Amanda's page:

Keely's page:
Keely's page is so serene and it's thanks to the pastel colors she used.

 

I am really excited to see all those emotions and see all my fellow friends moody as they can be!

 

What do you mean the page and layout? Go check this: COLOR WHEEL TUTORIAL. It might help. Remember this month we are working on enhancing your storytelling skills. This challenge is to make you think how incorporating colors and textures can make your story even stronger.

Example:
Christine's sample kept the colors of brown and green, which makes us think of nature, growth, calmed moments.

My page is mostly read and black and white, which makes you think of LOVE and PURITY.

Renee's page is dark, she was just not having a good day and it is so represented in here heartfelt page with strong colors.

Amanda's page is all about TRUST, NATURE and just water fun and perfect with all that blue.

Keely's page is so serene and it's thanks to the pastel colors she used.

 

Gaelle, it's a fair question. Let me know if you have any others. I added those extra snippets of information to the challenge post.

 

Here is one more, I wanted to show in this page how my baby is growing "old"... LOL!!! So, I after I finished the page I used one of Laurie's papers in a radial gradient (in brown) and put it in the top layer and then applied a blend mode to it. Now, the page looks vintage and old. YAY! (Plus, it goes perfect with her cowgirl boots! WIN, WIN!!!!)
