A question for you to think about, with this technique, how can you creatively incorporate it to your layout / project? Is it by applying the technique on an interesting surface? Is it by using another technique to make the technique more awesome? Is it from the placement of the technique on your layout / project? Here are just some ideas on what you can use as inspiration for this challenge.

Graphic Inspired Challenge
For Graphic Inspired Challenge, the idea is for you to use the illustration to inspire you to create a layout.
Here's where i'll be getting the illustrations from.... Here's an introduction about the designer of these illustrations, Sokkuan...
"Base in Singapore after her graduation from The One Academy of Communication Art in Kuala Lumpur, Sokkuan is currently a commercial illustrator with versatile illustration styles. Her work has been used by clients like Nokia, Motorola, Heineken, Coca-cola, Pepsi, Nike etc.
On another hand, Sokkuan has Sophie Black as her personal project. She loves simplicity with necessary details and adores people and things that are in harmonious contradictions, the same way she appreciates black and white.. Sophie Black is the epitome of such paradox. She appears to be mischievous, strange, bewitching and sinister but when told about her appearance she giggles like a child full of glee. She has a few beloved friends who reflects her quirky characters in some ways.
In 2007, Tiger Translate, a Tiger Beer initiative to showcase emerging Asian contemporary artists, has selected Sokkuan as one of 75 Tiger's Asian Kinetic Artists across Asia-Pacific. Sophie Black was showcased in that event.
In the same year, a joint exhibition with Kuanth (www.kuanth.com), titled "See you in the dark." was held, this has given Sokkuan a chance to develop Sophie Black's character more than just the outlook.Prior to the above, she served as an art director in OgilvyOne Worldwide, Singapore from 2002 to 2005."
A question for you to think about, from the graphic illustration, what is it that inspires you to create the layout? It can be anything at all. It can be the colours, the composition of the illustration or the images within the illustration. Here are just some ideas on what you can use as inspiration for this challenge.
How you use what inspires you is up to your imagination...

How does the Challenge work?
There'll be four different types of challenges, 1 challenge per month... And the challenge will be either a layout or project, sometimes it is free for you to decide whether you want to submit a layout or project. The challenge will be quite open ended. So you are free to interpret the challenge and come up with something with YOUR interpretation of the challenge.
1) Words Inspired- Use the Words image as inspiration
2) Stash Inspired- Use a particular stash, colour, theme as inspiration
3) Graphic Inspired- Use Graphic illustration as inspiration
4) Technique Inspired- Use a certain technique as inspiration
I'll do up my interpretation of the challenge as an example. However, there's no need for you to interpret the challenge the same way.
How to Submit your layout / project?
Email me at feliscraps_challenge [at] hotmail.com with a maximum of 3 photos of your layout / project. To submit, you have to include the following:
1) Subject of Email: HappyScraps: ______ Inspired Challenge ___ Submission
2) Title of Layout / Project
3) Description of Layout / Project (A short description will do)
I know how sometimes details in the layout / project can't really be seen from the photos. So a short description of what inspired you to do what you do will be good. It can be what you feel is important for us all to know.
Deadline
The deadline for each challenge will be the 28th/29th of the month at 12 noon.
How is the winner chosen?
The contestants are the judges! The winner will be based on rankings by everyone who took part in the challenge including me and adib who is helping me out with the challenges. :)
- Once the layouts/projects have been posted on the blog (on the 29th/30th of the month), I'll send an email to the contestants for their ranking.
- Rank the layouts/projects in order of preference - eg. With 5 contestants, 5 points for the best layout/project.
- The one who has the most points wins!
- Results will be released on the 30th or 31st of the month.
1) Words Inspired- Use the Words image as inspiration
2) Stash Inspired- Use a particular stash, colour, theme as inspiration
3) Graphic Inspired- Use Graphic illustration as inspiration
