GIVE ME THE SUN AND THE SEA ~ NEW CHALLENGE AT COLORMESCRAPPY

Evening on this HOT HOT night, well in Australia anyway, hard to believe on the other side of the world it is freezing! I prefer summer so this buttercup better suck it up.

ColorMeScrappy Challenge #54 is up and it is a Beauty. I must admit when I first saw it I thought hmmm. But once I picked my photo and started I really enjoyed doing the layout and was really pleased how it turned out. The DT has rocked the challenge, so pop over and visit their blogs and leave some love because they are awesome.
So the colour scheme is .....

Got you thinking? 
and the twist to use tribal elements so feathers, arrows etc. Lizzy Hill this is up your alley !
Told you it was interesting

I used my feather stamp that I purchased from Scrapfriends ( and they just happen to have a 50% sale on at the moment ) I then cut them out and lightly painted  grey with my water  paints.
The Flair button is from StudioFourteen40
The enjoy Life chippy is from Scrapmatts they add the perfect touch to a layout.

I have used lots of bits of lace, muslin, ripped up doily, braid and used gesso over the top
I have also added the odd button here and there

That's the great thing about challenges, they make you use colours etc that perhaps you may not normally use and then be pleasantly surprised. 
So hope you can join us this month with this fabulous palette  & I look forward to seeing your layouts.
Don't forget to also join in over at Orange Paperie and scrap about a Friendship.
I have just returned from a nieces wedding on Hayman Island so I am suffering being back to reality today. Never mind I was very lucky to have the opportunity to have gone and have a wonderful time with family that I don't get to see enough of.
 I want to live on a Tropical Island!

Stay Cool or warm whichever the case may be
Love and Peace
