Into the Woods by Mandy

Happy Hello Berry71Bleu Fans!
 
Today it's my turn to share my take on this month's fun filled "FOREST" challenge hosted by
I used the dark paper from 7 Dots Studio - Nature Walk - Perfect for this month's challenge!
The photo was recently taken by me at the local state park and you can see the sun peeking through the trees.....I added the sticker from 7 Dots Studio, Destination Unknown - "Sunny Skies"  among the various embellies!
I wanted to use dark background paper to add depth behind the photo - (as if walking deep into the woods) -  I then wanted to add accents of the colors in the photo - (blues/greens) - I used a variety of brands of mists, paints and inks to this mixed media layout....I was grabbing "similar" colors as in the photo.
 
   Below is the beautiful "Forest" themed mood board Tusia created:

But first, here is a little about Eirini.


Hello, my name is Eirini (Irene)Tsaima.I live and work as a trainer in a public school in the beautiful  island of Crete in sunny Greece.I'm married to a wonderful man who tolerates and supports  my  new passion ... scrapbooking!!!We have two kids and their coming in our lives, made me looking into anything handmade  that I could do as a new mother  to keep memories  alive.Somewhere  there I met  scrapbooking albums,lay outs and cards until I fell on mixed media ... That was !! It was love at  first  sight .Ever since i  stuck in this style, making lay outs who express me  at different phases of my life .Personally i like order and discipline in my life, but not in art.Art has no limits and barriers ... Inspired by everything in everyday life, from a photo-advertisement-music up to  a walk in my garden, by the sea or  at the center of my town.

Wandering In The Forest Tag by Kay


For this month's challenge I decided to do a tag--a small project but one I haven't done in a long time.  When I saw this month's mood board--the first thought that came to my mind is one of my favorite TV shows 'The Walking Dead".  The majority of that show takes place in a forest setting.  The forest is portrayed in all sorts of way on this show.  It's a place of both peace & fear.  It's basically become the primary makeshift home for all of the characters on the show as they wander an apocalypse ridden land.

I found a great photo of them online that shows a couple of the primary characters walking aimlessly through the forest--so I took that photo plus this challenge to make an homage to one of my favorite shows.

Here's the fabulous inspiration board for this month's challenge.


I kept the overall color scheme of the tag in the earth tone family.  I've used embellishments from the 'Nature Walk' collection by 7 Dots Studio to further dress up my tag.

I have a bag of dried moss in my stash that added the perfect touch to this tag--I tucked a few strands of this moss behind my burlap flower & pine cone.



Thanks for stopping by.  Now onto this month's prizes...
