Hi everyone! Today is the start of a NEW CHALLENGE up at 7 Dots Studio - this time
with the theme of ANIMALS. Easy! Even if you do not have your own, perhaps you
have pictures of when you visited the zoo or something similar? We have 4 cats,
all of whom we love dearly & occasionally I scrapbook them too! This is our
only male cat, Chives, & he is not normally very photogenic so I don't
have many photos of him at all. See the challenge post HERE.
Remember to link up to the challenge post on the 7 Dots Studio blog
& also to display this graphic in your post for your entry to be valid,
as well, of course, of using ANY 7 Dots Studio product/s, even just ONE.
Again I used my favourite Soulmates papers, together with all sorts of other bits & pieces from Prima, Webster's Pages & UmWowStudio too, plus 7 Dots Stamps from the Illumination Collection & die-cuts from Nature Walk, so quite a selection here.
Chives is very much an outside cat. We have very warm weather here & he enjoys
spending time outside in the sunshine, so I used insect elements/embellishments
& nature colours to reinforce this theme, so mainly browns & greens.
Because he is a boy I used some rugged elements like wooden alphas, staples & metal embellishments although I also used flowers & bling, which I can't resist on any layout!
Plenty of texture from mixed media, dry-wall tape, twine, skeleton leaves & organza ribbon.
Again I used negative areas from the tag sheet here to create additional texture on
my background, stamping, misting & splattering in shades of brown, black & greens.
I hope that you will be able to play along with our challenge at 7 Dots this month.
The only requirement for your project is to use the theme ANIMALS
{could be party animals or naughty as children too I guess!}
as well as a minimum of ONE 7 Dots Studio product.
The winner is chosen by the Design Team & always receives an awesome prize
pack of 7 Dots goodies! Challenge is open for one month starting today!!
