Vintage-Inspired Colour Combos for Australian Papercrafters: Spice Up Your Scrapbooking and Journaling Projects


Hello, Aussie papercraft enthusiasts, scrapbookers, and journaling mavens!

Are you keen on rustic and vintage-inspired projects but feeling stuck in a colour scheme rut?

You're not alone, and that's why today, we're focusing on unique vintage-inspired colour combinations perfect for papercrafting.

 

Uncover new creative avenues with this collection of new colour combos to try!

Why Go Vintage?

Vintage colour palettes emanate a sense of nostalgia, warmth, and timelessness that's hard to replicate. If your aesthetic leans towards rustic and vintage, these colour combos can take your projects from 'cute' to 'heirloom-worthy.'


 

 

How to Start Incorporating Vintage Colours

  1. Paper Choices: Begin with choosing paper stock in your new vintage colours. Textured or patterned paper can also add an extra dimension.
  1. Stamps and Inks: If you’ve got rubber stamps or ink pads in these colours, they can become your new best friends. Use them to add details, layers, and textures.
  1. Embellishments: Ribbons, buttons, or vintage trinkets in your chosen palette can bring the look together. Less is often more, so don’t go overboard!
  1. Mix and Match: Don’t be afraid to mix these vintage colours in unexpected ways to discover new palettes and moods.

  2. Pair your next papercrafting project with some matching butterfly stickers - find some sweet stickers to match here. Or, grab some floral stickers - my Bloom range is sure to have a colour to match your next project - find your favourite here.
