Summer | Cheryl Gerhard
Hi everyone! It's Cheryl here today with my September mood board challenge layout!
This was such a fun challenge and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to use this photo I took at a beach in Portugal a while ago. I mainly went with my favourite colour, which is pink - who knew?!

I used a pink palm tree patterned paper and stickers from "Miami Peach" by The Mint Feather. Before I placed my photo, I did a little bit of mixed media using the Fox Cut #14 stencil.

My title is sweet and short: summer and I used this beautiful white perspextive on the bottom left hand corner, which creates a nice contrast and makes my title stand out even more.

I also added a couple of rows of rolled paper and created several clusters using puffy stickers as well as a lot of the Tropical Florals perspextives.
What a great way to end the summer. I can't wait to see your layout using this inspiring mood board! :)
