TCR#2: My love My life

As I wrote in a previous blogpost I found out about The Color Room, with a new color combination each week to challenge us.
This is the color palette of this week:

Absolutely not my colors, although I like this combination very much! But I had a hard time searching in my stash to find some matching papers...I had the perfect picture in just the right colors too.

This is my layout:

I wanted to make a male layout but no rough and tough layout, just manly, masculine, etc. So I decided to create my own flowers with the patterned paper I used on my layout. No cardstock roses...that would be too feminine. I think the flowers I created now are pretty manly, don't you?

Here is a more detailed picture:

By the way, the white and blue hydrangea flowers are from Prima.

I used my graphite and blue glimmermist too, with a Tim Holtz mask.

The patterned paper is from Kaisercraft (Pack your bags), from Pink Paislee and from My Mind's Eye.

I'm very happy about the result. Can't wait to start with the next color palette!
