I love the start of Spring, when the grey of winter gradually retreats and is replaced with every
shade of tender, new green imaginable. It is green that inspired this issue’s Colour Suite. I chose a
monochromatic palette of Granny Smith apple, spearmint and avocado. For a touch of contrast and
dimension, I added a pop of yellow, which I used sparingly. Light grey is a great neutral colour and made
a terrific foundation. I hope you enjoy this spring twist on the Colour Suite.
Each of the dozen
die cut polaroids
on Summer’s page
are like mini
canvases for her
photos and
embellishments.
Although the
layout is a grid,
the many small
details that
Summer added
create an
asymmetrical
feel.
