September Layout Challenge

The September layout over at Scrapbook Dreams is a sketch that I wasn't too sure about at first.



My layout is nothing like what I had in mind before I started but I really love the way it turned out.




There really is nothing like those first signs of Spring to make you feel better about life!

As a continuation of Scrapbook Dreams' Birthday, this beautiful sketch is being used as a chance to win a Birthday Present. I can't win, of course, cause it was my idea but that's not what motivates me anyway.


So - this is what I came up with:


I love the softness of this layout. I used some Prima Collage Flowers over inked plains ones and the Tim Holtz Mini Masks from the Scrapbook Dreams shop. I used Brushed Corduroy and Tattered Rose Distress Inks.
For the brown flourishes, I used the negative of the mask, taping over all the other open spaces. Then it became a stencil that matched the inked corner below the photo.
These masks are so cool. Can't wait to play with them a bit more.
