Challenge #71- Vegetal Layout

Whew!  Summer is winding down, kiddos are returning to school, and life is getting back into a rhythm.  And we here at Method Playground are resuming our challenges.

This week we challenge you to use some kind of vegetation on your project.  It can be florals, leaves, grass, dried, silk, paper.  Whatever you chose, but we want to see your layouts in full bloom!  Here are some inspiring pages from the design team:


Kimmy: I went with a garden theme. My picture looks like it was taken in an enchanted garden... so I enhanced it with misting over some real tree branches/leaves for my background. I also used a bamboo transparency & some fake flowers & leaves. I added some butterflies and misted dragonflies to enhance the garden theme. :)

Deborah: I also misted over real leaves and branches to make my background. I also used top of a parsley branch that had gone to flower to paint on top of my misted background. I ended up not using flowers, but little shells as accents.

Miwako: I love this stitched paper by Prima. I cut out the sides of paper. My twins played flower petals in the flower garden. The petals looked like dancing with them. I separated the pearl swirls because I want to feel moving on my layout.

Helga: Here is a simple layout I did using dried plants by PRIMA.

Michelle: These photos are of a favorite outdoor spot.  The garden pictures went perfectly with this challenge.  I created these flowers using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Sizzix die.  Please visit my blog later in the week for a tutorial.
