I started with the picture of the eight of us on New Year's Eve, determined that the color in the photo would be the only color on the layout. I matted it with a dark grey and then chose a silvery-grey paper (that I have had since at least 2005) for the background. Yes, I do realize that grey is actually a color...
Anyway, I added some silver ribbon, punched a star and added some silver Stickles to it. I added the same Stickles to the chipboard numbers and put them in place. Then I went through a bunch of different sticker sheets to find sentiments in black, grey or silver that were vaguely relevant to the topic. Finally, I journaled in black pen around the edges of the layout.
In person, it's shiny and sparkly and the journaling is legible. I really like how it turned out. Have you ever scrapped without color? I can definitely see trying it again sometime.
Is black and white considered "without color"? If so...then yes I have!
ReplyDeleteI Iove your swirly BG and the way you did the title!
Love it!!! I've never done no color... monochromatic yes, but not shades of grey/black/white. Very nice!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have done just one page in black and white. Here's a link to my post on it: http://scraplebee.blogspot.com/2010/05/scott-is.html

I loveeeeeeeeeee this! LOVING the way you did the date!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this is beautiful. I haven't scrapped an all grey layout, but I've done black and white plus one color and those always turn out cool. Your page looks great!!! I especially love the stickles.
ReplyDeleteMuted colours can look fabulous on a layout...yours turned out great!
