  Karen McLaughlin has created this stunning layout - Karen's colours look a bit different to the image provided due to the fact that it showed up on her computer with different colours.

And a couple of close ups so you can see the details

 Suppies used:
WOW 6x4 Mixed Circles
WOW Just the way you are 
Dusty Attic Word Tags #1 
Karen's Tip:
If you would like to cover your chipboard with paper or fabric, you can stick it right on to wet gesso. Gesso works really well as a glue and is more permanent than any of the glue sticks or bottled glue you can buy. 

 
 Lastly we have a Halloween inspired sample by Rachelle Minett.

Some close ups:

 
Products used: 
Dusty Attic Mixed Halloween chipboard pack
Chipboard Owl
Scrap FX - Halloween title
Lindy's stamp gang Mists - Drop dead Diva Set

Prima - Brick background stamp
Kaiser Craft - Black flower
Prima - flowers
Kindy Glitz
Black ink
Rachelle's Tip:  Spray mist onto plastic sheet first, spray lightly with water, then place cardstock on top to transfer the colour from the plastic to the cardstock

We hope that this has inspired you all to create a layout using our colour challenge image this month :)

Happy Scrapping everyone :)
