My first layout as a DT for The Lollipop Ladies!

Today there’s a new challenge up at The Lollipop Ladies! The challenge is to be inspired by the colors of this ice cream and to have swirls on your project. Personally, I always try to catch the feeling of the particular picture in a challenge too. In this case I found the candy/picture to be a bit “playful” so that’s what I tried to accomplish with this layout. The picture is of our daughter playing with some finger paint. I thought the colors of this challenge would go best with a colorful picture and this one was perfect in every ways.



I love the colors of this challenge and used them both as ink and patterned papers. I also wanted to incorporate the color of the ice cream stick and did that in the photo mat :). I made the swirls myself, just drawing them on the paper and cutting with a knife. The title is placed on one of the swirls.


Finally I added some matching embellishments and stamped a dragonfly.



Thanks for looking! I hope you will all join this challenge – I can’t wait to see your projects!
