July Scrap the Girls Challenge!!!

Hi everyone

Yep it's the first of the month again!

Yikes!!

So there's a new challenge over at Scrap the Girls, and it's pretty damn awesome.

I present...... "Dark Moon"......take inspiration from this moodboard to create your layout, and of course your photos must be of girls (no boys allowed)

Well I must admit I found this one daunting.

I think that's because there was not much colour..... and you know how much I love colour!!

But I'm a big fan of feathers!

So this is what I came up with......

I took inspiration from everything!

I created the stripes by simply painting directly onto white cardstock.

I then added some watercolour in the moody maroons and blues featured in the mood board.  I also added these colours by adding paint to some 2Crafty Chipboard and also a Kit the Habit die cut feather.

I knew I  had the perfect photo of my daughter when she recently dressed up for her school sports day.  It was in bright green, so I changed it to black and white.

I created a cluster underneath the photo and added loads of feathers from Kit the Habit, some flowers in the matching colours, a couple of keys, some more 2 crafty chippy and a Kit the Habit flair.

.
I also added some beads, which kind of just sits nicely in the cluster of flowers.  This is another Kit the Habit goody.

I finished off with my journaling (which is inspired by the quote in the moodboard), and a few flicks of watercolour paint.

The prize this month over at Scrap the Girls is donated by:
