ARTastic April - gday


This layout was inspired by the ARTastic April challenge - using the following picture/ palette by Trevor Nickolls:

                                                                                           
The artwork seemed to convey a theme of unity so I used a photo of us travelling with a Thai friend, showing how the world is getting smaller. I took the linked hands theme and made a circular set of paper dolls and tried to keep to the Earthy colour scheme. This was the final result....

I used prima ledger paper, DCWV Stardust stack, American Crafts Amy Tangerine paper, Craft Concepts Vintage grunge papers, My minds eye corner and Creativ cardstock in this layout.

    I love your take on this inspiration piece Renee. Your theme of unity and picking up on the linked hands from Trevor's painting just pulls it all together. Terrific work. Thank you so much for joining in with us on ARTastic this month.
