Scrap Around the World January challenge

[switching to English for this post]

After a very long break from blogging, I was inspired to use the moodboard of the Scrap Around the World January challenge for this page. The title, in Finnish, reads "Some dreams do come true" and the topic is related to a pony ride, which was once organised very close to where we live and thus fulfilled the long-time dreams of the young people in the photo...

I wanted to use the moodboard to create a non-traditional color scheme for a winter layout. Winter for us in this part of the world is traditionally white, icy and dark, with very little bright colors, rather than using the moodboard's light, dreamy blue with a hint a pink. Anyhow, it was nice to break away from the traditional color combinations for winter, and do something else! Here's the moodboard below. I guess I took a more bold approach to the dreamy colors, but they were definitely an inspiration.

In addition to lots of flowers and lace, the page includes a very rough gesso finish on a chipboard frame, which I then painted parts of, using glimmer mist as a paint (rather than as a spray). I also painted some of the flowers with glimmer mist. Painting with glimmer mist was a lots of fun! Will do that again. I can see myself using this moodboard again, too...
