Counterfeit Challenge Blog Hop - Balance The Scales

Welcome to the October Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog Hop.   This is my first ever Blog Hop and I am excited.  You should  have arrived here from Kelly if not that is ok just follow the link at the end of this post to the next blog or head to CKC Blog for the Blog Hop List.

Challenge 2 - Balanace The Scales is all about balancing the colours on your layout.  

This photo from Better Homes and Gardens is a example of Balancing The Scales, There is a lot of the pale pink, a little of the slightly darker pink and the medium colour is the dark pink as there is slightly less of it than the light pink.

This Video explains the design concept well.

As suggested in the video I didn't count black or white in my 3 colours.  I chose Pink as my main colour, Grey as my medium colour and the Blue as my minor colour though it is a bit more than a dash.

I used papers from American Crafts Atlantic paper pad, my only Shimelle paper pad, My Mind's Eye 6x6 Noteable paper pad that Heike gave me for my birthday, a Project Life Card from the Cobolt Collection, gauze, Kaszazz paper flowers and leaves which I coloured to match, my DIY beading wire half flowers, resin flowers from D-lish Scraps October Just Add Paper Kit, some brads and Creative Memories alphabet.

I used CTMH Pacifica ink to colour the leaves and some DIY paint spray to colour the flowers.
