Rose garden

I've been playing over at Mixed Media Monthly lately, trying to push myself to use mixed media elements on my layouts more frequently. This is the photo inspiration for September:


This is my layout:



I took inspiration from the circles, and used them as the main design element.  I also used a mix of different colours.  I created my background with stencil and spray ink, and used the crocheted embellishments for texture and added pop of colour, then matted my page with a darker layer of patterned paper.

I'm also joining in at Simon Says Wednesday for the Make it Colourful theme (colourful enough??) and at Clique Kits for the Anything Goes theme.

Materials:
Basic Grey Lily Kate - Chocolate patterned paper
Basic Grey Stella Ruby - Coffee with Dessert patterned paper
Trinket Track crocheted flowers
Scrap FX Whirlpools 6x6 stencil
Ranger Dylusions - Lemon Zest ink spray 
MFT Die-namics - Little Lowercase Letters
Buttons 

Thank you for visiting my blog!
