This Makes Me Happy- 7 Dots Studio May Challenge

I created this layout for the 7 Dots Studio May challenge.

The theme of this challenge is Garden or Gardening.

I thought it would be amazing to use one of my pictures from Costa Rica as this Central American country looks like paradise, a lush tropical garden you want to enjoy.

Here is the inspirational circle from the design team

I used the new Home Grown collection for this layout. The Happy paper was perfect for my natural hot springs picture that I took in Costa Rica. This tropical paradise picture needed vibrant colours so I painted the flowers and leaves from the background with water-colours. I rotated the Happy paper so the flowers would be at the top. This gave the illusion that they were hanging. Then I coloured them in with water-colour paint and added some Home Grown chipboard and flowers to make it look like a beautiful tropical garden.
