Scrap the Boys August Challenge "Funday"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout created for the August challenge at
Scrap the Boys.

My layout "Funday"



This months inspiration was

When I also saw the cut file inspiration, I had an idea ...


Now mostly when my ideas start out, they end up nothing like what I imagined.
I'm pleased to say that this one did!

I cut the geo leaves first and then laid them on white cardstock.
I then used Colour Blast sprays and shimmer sprays over the top.
Once dry, I lifted the coloured leaves and laid them on the layout for dimension.


Surprisingly, I hadn't chosen a photo before starting the page. When I went through the photo stash, I found this one of Master Z hunting for easter eggs beneath a tree! 
Couldn't believe it was just perfect!
Some paper layering and minimal embellishments really let the background shine.

I really feel like my mojo has been missing lately but I love how this one turned out. 

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.
