I love the colors in the May Challenge Moodboard. They remind me of luxury, water and feeling free. And of travelling to ancient places far away. Or just getting lost in a book. To be honest - the most it reminds me of is the beginning of an episode of Game of Thrones....  Well - this is what I came up with. NOT quite according to my plans, than involved more browns, pinks and copper than the end result - but I hope that it inspires YOU to submit your project for our challenge this month.

Some details:

I have used Kroma Crackle to get the fine crackle effect. The gold & copper foil is Mega Flakes that is one of my big loves now days.

Sentiment sticker from 7dots Studio Fortune teller collection.

I have based my page on acrylics from Indigoblu and Glimmer Mists from Tattered Angels.

And a reminder of how the moodboard looks like:

This moment by Jessika

Hi!

It's Jessika here to share with you my take on our stunning mood board this month! :) It is such an inspirational mood board full with yummy shine, glitter and metallic elements. I have used both gold and copper in my layout and even some metallic stars. The metallic paints and stars all comes from mixed media place who is our sponsor this month :)

First, here is a reminder of out may mood board.

And here is my layout.

We have had such wonderful sunny weather right now so I manage to take a few detail shots in the sun where you can really see all the shine and glitter of the metallic colors.

Both the butterfly and the chipboard clock got some copper metallic paint on them.

 The stenciled flowers are made with black gesso and the sprinkled with copper and gold glitter.

I chose to have a really small title on this layout because I did not want the title to be the focal point.

Thank you for stopping by!
