Scrap Around The World........A New Challenge


Welcome to the launch of Scrap Around The World, a new, creative challenge site. Each month a different  designer will present you with a Mood Board and a Sketch. Look at them, play with them and use them any way your creative instincts tell you to and create a page.
 All the details on HOW TO PLAY, OUR SPONSORS AND PRIZES AND THE DESIGN TEAM are all here at the new blog site:

May Mood Board created by Agnieszka Bellaidea


This is the May Sketch and Mood Board combination that can be interpreted any way you like. You have the freedom to use these images as starting points and go from there, where ever your creative instincts lead you.

Here is my take on this months sketch and mood board. I have spun the sketch around so the tags are at the bottom instead of at the side, but apart from that I've remained visually accurate to the sketch right down to the placement of the circular elements, the chevrons, the tags and the splatters. 
I love the colour scheme of teal and rust, so have gone with it. I was also influenced by the slightly shabby, feminine look of the mood board, so introduced the damask patterned background, doilies and dress forms.
 The photos are of my daughters being silly, taking photos of themselves in the back or the car with my iphone.

Embossed tags

Crumpled flowers made with the Tim Holtz flower punch; the tips dipped into copper paint.
Distressed stained tag, embossed with white, splatters made with watered down Distress paint.
