Weekly Challenge | sarahzayas

This week, our member Sarah (sarahzayas), wants you to create a project combining soft pastels with bright pops of color for a fun color contrast. Our members are so talented and we love seeing your work in the gallery! Check back each week as we ask one of our members to inspire you with a challenge based on one of their projects from our member gallery. Be sure to visit Sarah to see more of her work and keep up with her.


Hi Everyone! My name is Sarah, and I'm so happy to be sharing this week's challenge with you. One of my favorite things to play around with when creating a layout is different color combinations. Studio Calico kits provide so much inspiration for mixing colors, especially when combining multiple kits together! For this layout I wanted to combine a soft pastel color, which complimented my black and white photo, with a pop of more vibrant colors like the lime green and darker pinks to give everything a bit of a funky contrast. This mixture of colors ended up being one of my favorite combinations!

So, my challenge for you this week is to mix together pastels with some bright pops of color on your project. Right now I'm envisioning how awesome this could look on Holiday layouts. Have fun! I can't wait to see what you create!

Now it’s your turn to create a project based on Sarah's challenge! Share your new project for the challenge in the Studio Calico gallery (add the hashtag #SCchallenge to make it easier to find!), then link up your project in the comments of this post by December 7th to be entered to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico Shop! This week's challenge winner will be announced in the December 12th Layout of the Week post.

    I used the bold red stripe against lots of white and light blue and the pastel labels throughout my weekly spread.
