My Angel

I took a deep breath and held it for a couple of days after I read this challenge at Scrap-It-Lah. This is a challenge blog that's been on my radar for a few months now and I've been meaning to get around to actually doing one of the challenges. And I though that June would be the month. But when I read the current challenge I silently second-guessed myself because this was going to be quite difficult for me.

So the challenge is to make a monochrome WHITE layout.
I didn't even know where to start!

In the end I've just gone for butterflies galore!!! Not sure that was the best option, or that it turned out as I expected or wanted. But I can say that I've met the challenge criteria :-)

The first photo (at the top of this post) is in it's true colours, and hopefully you can see I've used a few different shades of white cardstock from various sources. I also painted the base cardstock with a silvery shimmery glaze but unfortunately it's not visible in the photos. It's a pity because it adds a delightful dimension and fits perfectly with this 'angelic' layout.

I tried to make up for the lack of colour by packing it with texture instead. I ran all the bigger butterflies through the Cuttlebug and then added some metal butterflies, clear buttons, pearls, rhinestones and brads.

It's entirely possible I went too far :-)

But if you're looking for a different colour prompt, why not try my very own Jolly June Yellow Challenge? Four different prizes on offer!
