And my take as a double page layout.

Lots of prizes and lots of fun!!!
Now a little more detail on how I created the background:
This really comes from that fact that I have a large number of papers that I purchased some time ago that don't quite do it for me. So rather than just purchasing more I have started to recraft the look.
Firstly I stencil with modelling paste and in this case I used 2 different stencils
Than I used mist and inks to add more colour
Then finally I used kindy glits and micro beads to add another dimension.
I swirled the kinky glits across the papers and then peppered the beads over the papers.

I let the papers dry and then I placed
then under a heavy paper container to flatten the papers a little bit. As you know with stencilling and inking paper often warp a little.
Once dried I completed the place of the photos and another embellishments.
I hope you like it, now remember to add a comment so I can come have a look at you blog and you can also be in for my RAK blog hop prize. And I would look it if you follow me.
Happy scrapping.

Jonnece your take on the sketch with your gorgeous card and layout is just awesome. Love the mixed media effect on your layout's background with the birds and sky.

Wow, just love how you repurposed the plain paper. I try and get my girls to do that too.. we all have far too much paper and need to use what we have. Love changing things up and making it new. Great use of the sketch. Hugs, Mich
ReplyDeleteDone the hop and it was so fun. Its just Ada's hop post which has not gone live yet, so hope I remember to come back later and comment.
