White or not?

This is my layout share for White with 1, October edition. Wait... it's not white! 

Here's the inspiration board ~

* COLOUR - Use shades of lilac or green or plum pink on a WHITE or KRAFT background.
* MOOD BOARD ELEMENTS - flowers, book page
* CRITERIA - Free scrap

Confessions of a daily scrapbooker... I purchased the Kaisercraft Botanica paper pad (years and years ago!) because the wonderful greens and browns were perfect for my nature layouts.  Now that most of those papers have been used, I'm left with a bunch of lilac/lavendar coordinating papers that I'm really not loving. This challenge was perfect for both stash-busting and nudging me into the discomfort zone. Was it cheating to add the book page to balance it out a bit?

Challenge 3 ~ Theme: Relaxing
The theme is 'Relaxing' and I was also in relax mode when I scrapped this page, just adding bits and pieces that made me happy.   I used papers and element sticker from Cocoa Vanilla Endless Summer collection,  Added layers - vintage book page and fabric from old handkerchief. Old buttons from my habby stash and punched leaves using an embossing punch, purchased from Daiso on my most recent trip to Japan.

More Hervey Bay layouts

These ones were created using challenge prompts from the Scrapbook Fantasies Relax & Refresh Cybercrop.

Challenge 1 ~ Technique: Paper tearing
One of my go-to techniques!  {Cocoa Vanilla Endless Summer patterned papers & elements stickers}
Scrapbook Fantasies products: Very Vintage freebie fussy cuts and flair button from The Islands collection.

Challenge 6 ~ Create a project using swirls as the feature shape
I had fun making the swirly background {Colorbox Mesmerised stencil, Ranger/Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Hickory Smoke, Pilot Pintor - White 8mm paint pen}.  I used Scrapbook Fantasies products: Sea Life Colour Cuts - Minis.  I don't think the colours work together very wel - I may go over the colour cuts with a white wash to tone down the colours.
