JUST STROLLING WITH MY BROTHER ~ CHALLENGE YOURSELF CHALLENGE

Good Afternoon,

Today I would like to share with you a layout for the current challenge at Challenge Yourself 



Now I have a photo of myself walking into the art gallery in the rain with a umbrella, I printed it out, but my heart wanted to scrap a photo of my brother and I strolling in the garden at Schonbrunn Castle Vienna last year. So that is what I did, it just has more meaning to me.


It is so hard to get a good photo sometimes, as in getting the true colours grrrr.
I have used a lot of StudioFourteen40 embellishments ~ the flairs, wordstrips and the little arrow head chippies , which I embossed .



This flair literally turned up in the mail today and I thought the colours were perfect for the layout.
Added some stamping to my layout as well.


I coloured the stamped feathers with gelato's. Added another StudioFourteenFlair . It is hard to see in the photo's but I have ripped papers from my art journal that I use the excess mists and paints on when I am scrapping and layered under my photo.


A nice big old button from my Mum's button tin


Thank you for calling by , hope your week is being a good one.
Love, Peace and Kindness
