Rainforest Voices

In 2023 I want to challenge myself to be more adventurous with mixed media, and this is my first dabble for the year.



Inspired by, and sharing at Scrapping Clearly for the January Mood Affirmation challenge ~


I was inspired by the colour palette and the CREATIVITY theme. I made my background with a few different greens from GlimmerMist and Dylusions ink sprays, and I layered a lime green napkin for my photo mats. The images are cut from a BioCup coffee sleeve. I love coffee sleeve art, and I've had this one in my stash waiting for a project to come along. It features artwork by Elliott Routledge, from the Voices for the Rainforest series. The quote on my layout is from the same artist.
