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 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.

Thanks for checking out my page today. :-)
There is still a lot of time to take part in the challenge at SATW, or why not Sabrinas September challenge at Inkido to use layers and borders?
Hugs!
