Matterhorn Bobsleds meet Graphic 45

Another layout for Disney Scrappers.  This layout fits several challenges over there: Veterans Weekend Challenge #4 - Inspiration, Disney Color Challenge #3, and Disney Challenge #11.  We are having a lot of fun over there, so please stop by and see what we are up to and get inspired!

This started out first as a layout to fit the color challenge #3.  Here are the colors:

 

You can add any additional color, so I chose green, and you do not have to do Pirates, that is just the inspiration photo.  I searched my paper stash and found nothing for this color combo until I started digging through my Graphic 45 papers.  I put several paper lines together to come up with this color combo, but I think it works.

Next, I decided I wanted to follow one of Susan's sketches and decided on a two-pager that she did for Basic Grey.  I know, a Basic Grey Sketch using Graphic 45 paper, but oh well!

The Graphic 45 lines I used on these page were, primarily Renaissance Faire, the stamps were from Transatlantic, the gold from Le Romantique, and the red from Fashionista.  Glad I had so many lines from which to mix and match!!

  For the Inspiration challenge, you had to pic something from the photo to use for inspiration so I chose a rosette and pennants.  I loved that the Graphic 45 Transatlantic had these postage stamps that actually had Switzerland on them AND the Matterhorn!!  Wow!  I added my own postage stamp of the edelweiss.

I decided I wanted to make some edelweiss to put on this layout.  At first I tried to find some at my LSS and online, but there were none to be found, so I put on my crafty thinking cap and got to work.

I started with some old Bo Bunny white felted paper, and cut out two QuicKutz starfish. Weird, starfish, but the shape looked edelweissy to me.

 Then I carefully trimmed around the edges of one of them to make it a tiny bit smaller.

Then I layered them, hand cut some thin leaves from green paper, and the last step was to alcohol ink some pearls for the centers.  Ta da!
