Orange, Lime, and the Details : September JBS Mercantile Papercrafting Kit

I think my very favorite color combo right now might be orange and lime.  The September Mercantile PaperCrafting Kit has gorgeous patterned paper that use these colors.

Here are a couple of details of the last two layouts I created with the kit:


It's the Little Things :  I started this layout by creating a tone on tone background with white flower stems cut from cardstock with my silhouette:


I used the same die cut image cut from the Glitz Finnley orange ombre paper and the lime scalloped paper on the left hand side of the layout.  I ended up loving the negative portion of the cut and used one of those instead:


There are wonderful metal embellishments in the kit.  I took one of the wire cameras, backed the center with one of the orange patterned papers and filled the middle with Glossy Accents to give it a shine.


MMMOO:


When I saw the alphabet stickers sheet my eye immediately went to the line with the letters "MMMOO" and I couldn't help but think of the calf I took a photo of this summer.  I pulled off all the letters, stuck them in my journal for future use, backed the "MMMOO" with more of the orange ombre paper, and stuck the entire sheet on a piece of black cardstock in the kit.  This became the left hand side of my page. In the middle of the Exclusive September Clock stamp image I placed a JBS chipboard milkcap.  It's the only item from my stash, but I just couldn't resist using it:


On the right side, I used the same die-cuts I used on the previous layout, and combined negative with positive cuts.  The colors are such a striking combination, don't you think?!


I love this kit and you will too!  There are limited kits available, so grab yours now!

  3. Betsy these layouts are just fabulous! You inspire me every time you post. I was a little apprehensive about these bright colours at first but you make it look so easy, and now I can't stop using my own kit to make some recent favourite layouts. Thanks for sharing your process. xx

  4. I really liked how you highlighted the little details in this kit—the mix of orange and lime tones feels so vibrant and refreshing! It actually reminded me of the creative vibe around Sector 12, Greater Noida West, where modern designs and colorful living spaces bring a similar sense of energy.
