Two cousins...Two photos... Two challenges...
It had been a while since I had popped over to Let's Get Sketchy. When I visited the site last week and was inspired to play along with their May week 1 sketch (see previous post), I saw that Brenshevia had a new or rather altered challenge blog named Picture This! Challenge Blog posted in the sidebar. The May challenge of (2 Photos + Black & White + Doily + Yellow) really appealed to me. Right off the bat, I knew that I wanted to use My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Two Sunshine collection from my stash (an old My Scrapbook Nook kit) and I had two photos in mind.
I had a few design ideas kicking around in my head but then I saw this week's Let's Get Sketchy sketch and it was just the ticket.
I stamped the background with a Magenta Script and Post stamp and then stenciled with a Magenta Damask stencil and Ranger Texture Paste. I added yellow with Distress Inks and Distress paints until I got my desired hue and look. Once dry, I then splattered black paint in somewhat of a diagonal ray.
Next, came all the layering, doily (was white, I used Distress Paint to alter it to black), lots of embellies (even tried out the new Mod Podge Melts and Molds for the little frames) and titling. A little journaling and it was done.
It was great that I was able to combine the two inspirational challenges from the sister sites, use up some stash, and come away with a layout that I really like. Total scrap happiness!
TTFN,
