Good Morning! Nicole here today to share with you a new designer sketch challenge.
I love using a basic sketch and making it my own with great papers and embellishments. Here is the basic sketch that I created for this week's challenge:
Since this week's theme on the Lily Bee blog is Love Story, I thought I would create my page using one of my favorite photos of my daughter along with my new favorite collection from Lily Bee -
I started my page with some plain white cardstock and added a subtle chevron strip by placing a scrap piece of chevron paper that I cut with my Silhouette and misted with Opague White mist - which looks pretty creamy. It is a subtle contrast to the white and goes well with the floral paper in the new collection - Sweet Shoppe.
I added a cut title and one of the new fabric brads from the same collection - layering it all on top of a journaling card from the Christmas Cheer collection - and added some stamping using my Autumn Spice and Persnickety stamps. Trying to get a lot more bang from my buck from my stamp "collection" these days and the Autumn Spice stamps are really ones you can use over and over again.
I added a banner (of course) with some of the new chipboard pieces, along with some pennants cut from one of the Sweet Shoppe papers.
Want to play along with us?
Simply create your page and post it in our Flickr gallery with a link to the layout that inspired yours. We can't wait to see what you have created!
Gorgeous layout, Nicole!
