Natsuko's little craft room: memories (DT work)

The second challenge this month for Colorful Creations is this Monochromatic Challenge!

Rule : Create a layout using one color. You may use all shades of that color. You are also to use only one photo.

Colorful Creations の今月2つ目のチャレンジは、モノクロマティックチャレンジです！１色だけでレイアウトをつくること！（濃淡はＯＫ）それから、写真は１枚だけ使うことがルールです。

I used a picture when we went on a trip to Awaji Island with my friend's family. We drank fresh milk at the farm, spent some time with the animals and took a break. The two are friends since they were a baby, and because they were always together and their height were alike, they were often mistaken as twins. Wow, it's been a long time since then...time flies. Now they are in different schools and don't see each other much, but they are still good friends:)

お友達家族と淡路島に旅行した時の写真を使いました。牧場で美味しい牛乳をいただいた後、動物とふれあい、一息ついたところです。二人は赤ちゃんからのお友達で、いつも一緒、背も同じくらいだったので双子？？とよく言われたものです…懐かしい！今は学校が別々でなかなか会えないけど、いいお友達です♪

I chose brown. I printed the picture in sepia, to match the layout. I cut out the middle of this lace paper and attached it to a firm patterned paper. In the open space, I smudged several shades of brown with oil pastels and water and covered the title and diecuts with bronze glitter glue. I layered some strips of paper and book paper under the picture and embellished around it with flowers, a wooden frame and a pearly string. Here are some close-ups;

私は茶色を選びました。写真もレイアウトに合わせて、セピアに。レースペーパーの真ん中をくり抜き、硬めのパターンペーパーに貼りつけました。くり抜いたところに、茶系のオイルパステルと水で着色し、タイトルとダイカットにはブロンズのグリッターを塗りました。細くカットしたペーパーと英字ペーパを写真の下に重ね、周りをお花と木製フレーム、パールで飾って完成！
