Let's Get Sketchy posted Challenge #2 ... and I was excited to play along! This is the sketch that was posted ...
My take on the sketch makes use of My Mind's Eye Breaking Free collection. I enjoyed the blues and browns and thought they worked well with my niece's outfit! I love using pearl flourishes ...and thought that this layout just called for one! Also, you'll notice that I substituted a journalling tag (instead of the second photo) ... mostly because my sister Elaine gave me this photo & I didn't have a second one!
I was playing around with various punches, die cuts, buttons and hemp and this is the cluster that resulted ... I used some Glossy Accents to add a bit of sheen to the word "Zoe". (I rarely do a layout that doesn't have a glossy accent somewhere!)
I layered various size stars (from my new star die cut) ... using pop dots for dimension and Glossy Accents to give some shine to the top stars!
I created a chain of stars for the banner across the top corner ... and even though someone once told me that eyelets are "old school", I refuse to believe it and keep using them everywhere!
AND OF COURSE ... I made some cards with my scraps!
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to stop in again tomorrow!
I absolutely LOVE the chain of stars!!! It looks so good. All the colors works so well together and you have used so many beautiful embellishments. .. and oh! The photo is so cute! :)
