Ideas for a Scrapbooking Color Scheme of White Suffused Pastels and Metallic Accents | Get It Scrapped
Use a scrapbook page color scheme suffused with white and accented with metalics and you set a mood of delicacy for your scrapbook page storytelling.
We’ve collected white-suffused pastel inspiration for you on Pinterest, and we’ve got scrapbook pages below that put this combo to work. See the products and textures our team used, see the relative proportions, and see how they made this combo work.
Carrie Arick says, “This is one of those rare photos (and times) that captures my son when he is relaxed, happy, and living fully in the moment.”“The colors give the page an ethereal look that supports the mood of the page while highlighting that this is not an everyday occurrence because of the dreamy effect suffused white creates. For the photo, I used a combination of a graduated filter and screen blending mode to create a photo with pastel coloring. This washed out my son’s face, so I created a mask to brush my son back into photo ( see the tutorial using masks and brushes from The Lily Pad that I used). The screen blending mode came in handy for the paper and elements, too, because it removes black pixels and lightens colors by infusing them with white.”

“I used the pink glasses as the starting point for this page. I don’t get to use pastels very often when scrapping my sons but it worked here. I added a touch of gold for the title to increase the glamour–just another opportunity to annoy my son. To get the pixelated look on the background photo, I used the Photoshop mosaic filter and a pastel gradient fill layer.”

“Because this is something that is now in the past, a scheme of soft, faded, nostalgic colors seemed appropriate. I made a rainbow background and collaged letter stickers over it. To tone down the colors, I overlaid the page with gesso and white acrylic paint. With very diluted watercolors, I colored my title and to make it stand out more. I outlined the letters with a silver marker.”

“When I am using pastels and white I like to use elements that add texture and contrast to the page since colors are muted. For this page I used crackle paint on chipboard, shimmery paints on wooden veneer and embellishments that had dimension and shine. I also made my own background paper by spraying glimmer mist onto the paper and then using a wide brush to spread the mist for more even color. A touch of metal on pastel pages adds contrast and interest.
