My Mood Board for Around The World!

Hello there! It's the first of the month and that means it's Scrap Around The World time! And this month is especially exciting for me as I designed the SATW mood board!

First, I'd like to share my layout.

I love the action and movement in the photo and the layout. The photo was a selfie my daughter took with her friends on top of The Luge on a trip to New Zealand. They look like they're having a blast!

Here's my SATW mood board.

It's not hard to work out which photo I used as my inspiration. I was actually surprised by my choice because when I made the mood board I fell in love with the tree image and assumed I would use that. But, when the time came to create, it was the watercolours that spoke to me. Of course, I also was inspired by the feathers (don't you love the heart shape the wings make?) and the circular elements (I sponged water through a dots stencil to remove some of the colour).

I hope you're not scared off by the bright colours! I wanted to make my mood board inspirational for all tastes. You can choose to ignore the colours completely and instead be inspired by the shapes, the feathers, the textures, the words or anything else that takes your fancy.

The feathers on my layout are from The Dusty Attic and have just been released. I adore them! I used a white paint pen to colour them then used a variety of products to colour the strands of beads. I added coordinating threads in and around the feathers.

I used Tinby Designs Metallic Melts to colour the title. I used silver on the top half and painted the bottom half black. I then added more silver Melts over parts of the black. I'm sure glad that Metallic Melts can be coated again and again because I changed my mind several times making this. There are three different colours under some parts of this title!

Are you going to give my mood board a go this month? I'd LOVE it if you did! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you create!
