Mixing REDS!!


Hoo-Boy!! I just love a challenge that's wide open, so I can use my RED! The WT today is to mix patterns, and I just bought a bunch of paper (12 x 12 for 20 cents a sheet!) at M's. Of course I bought a lot of RED, and other matching papers, so this was right on top of the new stuff!!

I had to add some black and white (there are a bunch of us who love this combination - you know who you are!), and when in doubt, I use Stipple Rose. I really LOVE this image.

That's it for today. I'm getting ready for tomorrow's VSN mini. I am the 6 PM hostess, so be sure to check in with SCS to play along!! See you there.

Love your bold mix of patterns! That's a great layout & the touch of black is perfect! So wish I had ordered that stipple rose set...maybe I'll get lucky and find it on ebay.

Love how the RED rose pops off the main image panel! The stripes and dots are a perfect accompaniment!
