WELCOME TO THE STUCK ON U SKETCHES DESIGN TEAM FRIDAY REVEAL - BUILD A PAGE

 

WELCOME TO THE STUCK ON U SKETCHES DESIGN TEAM FRIDAY REVEAL.
Hi everyone,  happy Friday. Here is my version of the latest sketch from SOUS.
I hope you give this sketch a go and visit all their fabulous blogs for lots more inspiration.
For this layout I used the last of my papers from my Cest Magnifique Kit from September!

So this is how I did it IN 10 EASY STEPS.

I took my pretty paper cut it down by half an inch, scrunched it up, distressed, then inked the edges

 Adhere to plain cardstock.

 

And add a half circle distress and ink the edges.

 Add another slightly smaller half circle, distress and ink the edges.

.

 

Add a10 x 5.5 inch rectangle, distress and ink the edges.

Add another slightly smaller rectangle, distress and ink the edges.

Add a doily.

Add a slightly smaller circle.

 

 Add matted photo.

 



Add a circle border made by cutting a very narrow circle and covering with string and fibres.

Add three large banners, ink the edges.

Add three small banners, ink the edges. Adhere.

Decorate. And there you have it.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I hope you can come back again soon.

Hi everyone, here is my last project for November and the first for December!
I have used a colour scheme from C.S.I CO-ORDINATES - Case file #99 -  for my inspiration.
I also entered this into a challenge at Inkido here http://inkido.blogspot.co.uk/ to use strings, I used some fuzzy white fibres.




http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/photo

To solve the case I used all five colours from the scheme.
For my evidence I used butterflies, stripes and silver metal embellishments.
For my testimony I used stripes as journaling lines and my jumping off point for the journaling was the word FLY.
I hope you like it.
HERES HOW
I created the background by sprinkling, spraying, speckling and splattering all the colour scheme paint colours all over the page. I added some texture paste words. I did some stamping with a music stamp, a honeycomb stamp and a little timepiece stamp.
I cut down the paper to 11.5x11.5 and distressed, then inked the edges in green ink.
I added my matted photo, stripey paper, orange paper, lots of flowers and assorted embellies.
