Scrap Around The World - June challenge - "Bumble Bee"

Hello sweet friends!

June, beautiful June with blooming fruit trees and Mother Nature in her fresh summer clothes. I love this prelude to fullblown summer when everything still has that delicate green to it. It's like my eyes are sensitive to that special green and the sensory signals go straight out into every inch of my being. Happy as a lark that's what I am!

Talking about Mother Nature and being inspired. Scrap Around The World (SATW) released its June moodboard and sketch on 1 June. HERE'S THE LINK TO THE RELEASE

We have an eclectic, retro mood board from Design Team member Anupama Choudary, together with a happy & whimsical sketch from our resident sketch artist Julianne McKenna-De Lumen.

 

 

 All you need to do is be inspired by the mood board (in any way) and to use our sketch as your starting point.
(No need to tell us HOW the board inspired you if it is OBVIOUS. Otherwise, please let us know - a couple of lines explanation is all that is vital for us).

The above image MUST appear on the blog post containing your challenge entry - you also need to mention that you are playing along with the current challenge at Scrap Around The World and LINK UP TO IT please,
(not to your entire blog). 

How to use our sketches 

As you would any other sketch.  We would like to see that it definitely inspired you
& was your 'starting point' but you can 'make it your own' by flipping it, turning it,
 inverting it & moving things about if you like.  You can also change the 
photo orientation and number of photos to be as few or as many as you like.

How to use our mood boards 
Our mood boards are for your INSPIRATION only.You can be inspired by one of the images, all of the images, or any number of them, or even parts thereof.

 
Anupama is our challenge host this month & will be monitoring the comments section of this post & answering any questions you may have - also directly in the comments section - but please read the 'Rules of Play' before you begin, as that should tell you everything you need to know.
