I've been out & about soaking up the sun, and drawing inspiration from everything I've seen for some new pretty papers for our summer projects … like these, 'Shanty Chic', which I added to the Boutique last night.
There are, of course, many different ways we can interpret the shades of the shoreline. Nautical navy blue paired with crisp, clean white & perhaps a splash of jaunty red. Or bright, playful, cheerful colours - the bright yellow of the sun, the shimmering shades of blue, green & turquoise of the ocean & perhaps the pink of a strawberry ice-cream.
But there is also a much softer set of colours that we associate with it too. One that reflects the sun-bleached shades of the sea & sand on a lazy, hazy, hot summer's day - soft, pale blues & green of a balmy sea & the neutrals of pale sandy beaches, hard rock cliffs, seashells & driftwood. A more casual, tranquil, feminine way of interpreting coastal style.
And that's the colour palette I've chosen for this collection, 'Shanty Chic'
The designs themselves include seaside-inspired hand-painted watercolour florals, pale blue watercolour-effect background papers & of course, crabs & fishes & starfish & shells. All very feminine too : )
Let me show them to you …
