Hi friend. I am taking part in the January sketch challenge this week and using the beautiful December kits. Interestingly, I used the sketch for my last layout, but they look totally different!
As I had stuck to the sketch last time, this week, I rotated it so that the vertical elements were now horizontal. I replace the chevrons with snowflakes which I had die-cut using the new and stunning dies. They cut through the cardstock like butter!
To make the background more interesting, I created a huge tag – I adore tags as they give the opportunity to add a ribbon! I love the pretty pink pattern on the dark navy blue – it really pops!
You can see I placed a line of snowflakes going across before adding my photos. I had cut them in pink, baby blue and white – the designs are amazing and intricate. Now I did go off piste a little with my flower cluster. Who could resist those incredible die-cut flowers from the Embellishment kit?
They look amazing layered over the snowflakes. I fussy cut some leaves from the Hooray! paper in the Main Kit – I love the dark leaves against the flowers.
To balance things, I created another cluster on the opposite side and tucked in more snowflakes, flowers and those cute little cardstock flag stickers. I love those Wood Grain Puffy Stickers – so clever! They add fantastic texture to your pages.
You can watch my process on YouTube:
I hope that you will join in the challenge this week – you have plenty of time – just upload your layout to the Facebook Group by Thursday, February 2nd. You can be in with a chance to win $25 to spend in store!
You can grab these stunning dies kits here – there are only a few left of some of the kits so don’t miss out!
I can’t stop looking at this layout. I love everything about it!
What a new layout and I love how you flipped it and made it your own!
Love this sketch!! Great layout.
This is just beautiful!
Love how you turned the sketch on its side!
This looks like so much fun.
Love the combination of pink and navy blue!
This is perfect. Your embellishments make it perfect!
This is so pretty. I live the dark and pink colors!
Turning a sketch sideways to get another take? I never would have thought of that. What a difference it makes though.
I am loving that dark background pattern. Beautifully done.
This is so cool! Love the tag
I love how you used this sketch! Beautiful page! 😍
