This is the page I made recently as a guest designer for
Inkido was a previous sponsor and we were delighted when Helen asked us to interpret the September mood board. This is such a fun challenge!
I promised I would post some close ups of my page today so here goes .-)
And here is a picture of the mood board and sketch for Gayle's challenge.
I started out taking inspiration from the stripes (background sheet), the words 'flying' out from the head (my butterflies), the large title (also a quote) and the black and white photo of a person.
I fussy cut a lot of tiny flowers from one of the sheets in the 'Beautiful Memories' collection.
I picked Inkido's small butterfly stamp and combined it with some other butterflies that I cut out. They were all embellished with some bling and pearl stones. Inkido do these in several colours and they are so great to add to all kinds of projects.
I find the internet is such a great source when you are searching for various inspiration, and for
this challenge I decided I needed a good quote. This was just one of several quotes that I found.
After cutting out the words with my Silhouette Cameo I backed them with pink paper, except for the words black and white that I wanted to stand out against the background.
Talking of design,.... I was very pleased to finf out this page was a winner in the latest challenge over at Scrap & Music. I have hardly taken part in any challenges lately but that is something I would like to change ,.)

Isn't it just gorgeous?!!
I started out taking inspiration from the stripes (background sheet), the words 'flying' out from the head (my butterflies), the large title (also a quote) and the black and white photo of a person.
I also did a loose interpretation of the available sketch, picking just a few of the elements.

I believe the flowers are are poppies.

As
you can see from this close up I also added some freestyle sewing with
my machine. I find it adds a lot of interest without being intrusive or
taking anything away from the design.

Bente, your daughter is so very beautiful. This is my very favourite layout by you. So very, very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWow this layout really grabbed my attention straight away.The photo is absolutely beautiful all on its own but the way you have framed it so tightly and then let the little butterflies float away from it.Am not normally a gushy commenter but this deserves a lot of gushing!
