It’s Sketch Friday peeps…one of my most fave times of the week! This week our sketch is from Michelle Werdetz, isn’t it fabulous!!
Today there is a twist…we have been asked to “Flip The Sketch”…this is my take 😀
I flipped & rotated the sketch with super results. I love how the title is now at the bottom of the page leaving the top edge for journaling. So…..with that in mind & the gorgeous April kits, I put together a page to celebrate his 14th birthday.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
The beauty of the sketch is the little squares can be interpreted into paper squares, frames, accents, stickers…anything. Stickers & chipboard sentiments positioned horizontally, draw ones attention to the centrally positioned photo.
I raised the different layers with varying heights of foam for accentuated dimension. Black machine stitching adds drama & texture!
Here is a close up of the stitching. Black on green & yellow…YUM!
Black accents act as anchors within the design. If you are curious about the alphas I used for my ‘BIRTHDAY NO.’ they are in fact the pink ombre ones included in the April kits. Using a permanent marker I recolored them black. Ta-daaaa!
Ha! My hand recoloring the alphas, in case you didn’t already realise LOL!
So as you can see, using a sketch is a fabulous way to jumpstart your design process. Be sure to stop by our member page on FB & join in the weekly Sketch Contest fun for a chance to win a store voucher.
