Sketchabilities #153 - September

Hello!

Welcome to the new month at Sketchabilities - Sketch #153 for September.  Another fabulous sketch:

It's a wonderful sketch - and I really enjoyed putting my page together:

The base of the layout is 49 and Market Captured Adventures Explorer paper. I prepared the page by covering it with clear gesso. Once dried, I used a script stencil to add some texture to the page. I then added some ink and stamped over this with brown ink. Instead of the 2 photos on the either side of the larger photo I cover two chipboard frames with the striped paper off the back of the laser cuts bonus of the Captured Adventures range.

The title is a Dusty Attic chipboard, plus there are some cogs - all of these were painted with Bo Bunny Glitter paste - Wasabi. And then dusted over with brown ink.

The flower cluster was done with the 49 and Market Vintage Shades Cluster - Sage, and the leaves are from the laser cut sheet off the 49 and Market Sweet Reflections.

Here are a few more close ups

White with 1 .... Sept 2018 reveal

Happy Spring Day!

1st of September and the sun is shining - just right for Spring Day here in NZ! And it is reveal day over at White ... with 1 and one of my favourite colours .... TEAL SEA

Gorgeous isn't it?

And I just love the mood board :

 And here is my take on the challenge for this month:

Here I have used mainly chipboard to make up this layout. It is a combination of chipboard from Dusty Attic, 2 Crafty Chipboard and Imagine If. Some of it I have cut up and placed in order to make the design.  These have been layered to give it a dimensional effect.

I started off with adding gesso to all the pieces before painting the chipboard pieces with Finnabair acrylic paint Metallique Mermaid Teal. The frame is a wooden frame which I have had in my stash for a few years, which was also gesso'd and then painted with white acrylic paint and lightly brushed over with an ink pad and then sanded to give it that wooden effect.

I have also die cut some leaves from teal paper, added some flowers from 49 and Market and some white cotton to finish this off.

Happy scrapping!
