Bring your sunshine and a new moodboard for Scrap Around the World

Hi there everyone!

A new month means a new challenge over at Scrap Around the World! This month, we have the amazing Terhi Koskinen with her minimalist mood board. I must admit I struggled a fair bit with this one because and as I was telling my team mates, it felt like 2 days of labour just to get it out. Going simple and clean is not exactly me, but I'm glad I'm challenged to do something different!


Before I show my sample, here is the moodboard, the rules of the challenge and the prizes that you stand to win this month, courtesy of our very generous sponsors:

The deadline for this challenge is  23.55 EST on TUESDAY 31th MARCH 2015.


And here is my take on the challenge:


I was inspired mostly by the colors teal and yellow, the word "Sunshine" and the twine. Lego is my boys' favourite toy so that led me to scrap about them (like I need an excuse). Not many layers here because it has to be minimalist (for me at least), but I still spent quite a bit of effort on my background building up the light airy feel I wanted.

Some close-ups:



My so-simple cluster - made up of old bits from my stash of MME products. Havn't used those in about 2 years!



Texture fun here - mixing beads of different sizes. For the yellow dew drops, I used a mix of Vivid Yellow and silver glitter paint from 13@rts to adhere the dew drops.



A piece of chipboard from Blue Fern Studios which I have painted black and used some yummy Liquitex black lava paste over, thanks to my friend Yvonne.

So that's all I have for now, thanks for dropping by! And remember to stop by the blog for more inspiration from the DT!

love,
