Scraps of Elegance April Inspiration Mood Board Challenge

Hi friends and welcome to the Scraps of Elegance (SOE) and Scraps of Darkness (SOD) April Inspiration Mood Board challenge.

The April  Inspiration Mood Board is designed by me..



Entries need to be posted in the challenge album on Facebook, but I thought I'd share the rules, so you can see how easy it is!

1. The challenge starts today and ends April 30th at midnight.

2. Create a layout, canvas, art journal page, or altered item, taking inspiration from this month's Inspiration Board: You can choose inspiration from just one of the images, or several of them. This inspiration can be the quote, the colors, the overall feel of the board, something in one of the pictures on the board - your imagination is the only restriction you have on this!

3. Upload your project into this album, and tell us in the description what you used from the board as your inspiration.

4. For a double entry - post your project on your blog along with the photo of the board and a link to this challenge, and then put a link to your blog post in the description of your photo when you upload here.

5. That's it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and hope to see you join in our Inspiration Board challenge this month!
