A VISIT TO ELEUTHERIAN MILLS

Part of my trip to Hagley included the Eleutherian Mills Mansion which was the home of the duPont family.

For my first layout of the home I used the Claire collection by SEI which had the absolutely perfect colors for the Color Combos Galore Color Palette challenge #230.  I used sketch with a twist challenge #3 from The Memory Nest as well as the Colorful Creations Plus Challenge calling for circles, flowers and butterflies.

Color Palette & Inspiration Board:



For this challenge you needed to use all 5 colors as well as select some inspiration from the photos.  I chose photo #3 for my inspiration and used an embossed background by Cosmo Cricket Core Impressions.  I rotated the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise and chose to use 2 photos.  (the bottom one is actually a postcard as the cars were not available for photos that day).

The Sketch & Twist:


Twist - use brads and buttons


My Layout:




My second layout uses Color Combos Galore Color Palette challenge #233 and more papers from the SEI Claire collection.  I used the August Week 1 sketch from Let's Get Sketchy and layers and buttons for the 'E' Challenge at Colorful Creations.
