We love our wild mysterious garden

This LO is made for the July challenge at Kraft it up. This month they have an inspiration challenge based on a picture of light turquoise cupcakes. I took inspiration in the colors as I thought they were so beautiful to combine with kraft.


I took the opportunity to use some papers and embellishments from Bo Bunny’s Gabrielle as they have just the right colors. I love to use butterflies on my layouts and I love the color combination on these papers. Usually, I try to mix so that one collection won’t be too dominant. But in this case I wanted to highlight Bo Bunny’s color combination. I did, however, add some light purple and some lime green. I also added some butterflies from Pink Paislee to obtain a more mixed feeling.

I used white ink on a mask to decorate the background. This mask from Prima was perfect to reproduce the rather overgrown feeling we have in our garden. I also splashed on some acrylic paint in lilac and lime green. The beautiful frond is a die-cut from K & Company.

Thanks for looking!!!
