Debra’s Challenge

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to our February Challenge,

This month is our sketch challenge, I found my sketch on @PageMaps. I always love a grid layout.

And here is my interpretation of the sketch, with my chipboard piece added.

I have used Papers from Pink Paislee’s Indigo and Ivy Collection,  Pink Paislee – Indigo & Ivy – Paper #4,

Pink Paislee – Indigo & Ivy – Paper #7

Pink Paislee – Indigo & Ivy – Paper #6

Pink Paislee – Indigo & Ivy – Paper #9

These Papers coordinated beautifully with images that I have Fussy cut from the sheet of

Uniquely Creative – Boho Picnic – Paper Marigold

I used the Memory Maze Chipboard that I heat Embossed Using embossing powder, which comes in so many colours

The Quote is from my stash, I thought it was very fitting for my photo

Hope you have fun creating with this sketch.
Debra

Louise’s Challenge

Hi Crafty friends.

I do love a sketch challenge.

Here is my sketch inspiration:

I’ve started with white cardstock background. Then added my cut squares in 5″ size with the Uniquely “Moody Blue” paper collection.

To embellish, I pulled out the Uniquely Creative “Teen Spirit” Creative Cuts which featured some cricket elements – so I decided on a cricket photo. As the embellishments were orange and red, I made these colours the focus of my layout.

I’ve pulled the orange banners from my left over stash.

To create my background, I’ve used the reverse stencil technique. First I took my stencil and flipped it over, then inked it with the Distress Oxide “Spiced marmalade” – spray with lots of water and then flip it over on the page!

I’ve pulled lots of stickers from my stash and added a little bit of colour and doodling around the border.

Can’t wait to see your creations.

Happy Scrapping.
