Here is how the talented K+Design Team interpreted the May Kraftboard
Sharmaine Kruijver
"Inspired by the wall in the living room I painted my mustard yellow background. Inspired by the books I added some torn strips. Inspired by the string around the books I added some twine. I altered the cut out girls dress to make it look orange not red, wasn't a huge success with that though! Inspired by the black dotted around the living room I added some black splotches. I added some white gesso to tie in the white in the mood board."
"I was inspired by the twine around the bottle, the colours, the twine bow
and I couldn't look past those beads."
"I took inspiration from the black and white tree picture on the shelf in the lounge room scene and created my own tree picture with the tree laying on its side. I loved the colours of the books so included a flair badge with stripes in similar colours. I also tied my tags with natural jute just like the book image. The orange was such a lovely colour that I added misting and leaf accents in that same colour."
"I was inspired by the colours (esp the green wall for the background),
by the floral elements and the beaded bracelet in the form of the enamel dots"
"I was inspired by the gorgeous colours and have tried to use them all on my canvas. The twine around the books I have replicated & tied 3 pieces around the canvas & the text on the books I have stamped some text on both the layered collage of kraft & also on the woodgrain PP under the flowers. The texture of the orange vase - I've added some stencilled texture to the background &... also on the tree branch, the flowers in the bouquet are replicated in my flower cluster. I have added a wooden tree branch inspired by the tree in the picture on the shelf. I've added a brown frame to replicate the brown frame on the shelf. The circles on the cushion also inspired me so I've added some 2Crafty chipboard circles....and also the denim, having used a denim flair and all the square & rectangle shapes in the top right image are represented by the collage of rectangle & square kraft pieces plus the stencil work for the background"
"Inspired by : green wall (paint), shelf with ampersand, blank frame and three framed image, books (text on kraft background), twine, denim, hessian around orange bottle, and grevillea bouquet."
"Inspired by the decor design and layout of the photo in top right hand corner of the inspiration board"
"I was inspired by the orange bottle, which I interpreted on my background with splashes of heat embossing. The books and twine were taken directly from the mood board & I altered the titles to reflect on the photo!"
"Inspiration taken from the olive wall, earthy colours, denim, ampersand,
circle beads and vintage books"
"I have taken inspiration from the books in Photo 3 and altered a book cover. Colour inspiration was taken along with embellishing with flowers a bottle, twine, metal trinkets and bead dangle. Textural elements in Photo 2 also inspired dry embossing on Kraft cardstock."
"I was inspired by the set of books tied together at the bottom of the inspiration board.
I created my background based on these, with the string tying it all together."
I was inspired by the colours of this Kraft board, the book paper, the twine & the flowers
Haven't the K+DT done an Amazing job?
So many different styles and interpretations!

"I created page "Flight of the soul" about my daughter, when she traveled to Madeira.
I really liked this Kraft board, especially bracelets, color bottle and flowers ... this palette helped me to make the page, and the right photo found in my photo-archive"
