Scrap Our Stash Sketch


Posted by Picasa

Design Team Member Stephanie submitted this layout for the Scrap Our Stash Sketch Challenge.

This is what she said: "It's all about graduation for me these days. I loved this sketch because I knew that it would be copper and green without looking tacky. (Sometimes copper and green (my school colors) look absolutely terrible together.) I started with an avalanche white piece of Bazzil cardstock and use distress ink (peeled paint) and Color Box copper inks to color the paper. The flower is made using felt, metal, and paper die cuts from the Sizzix Bigz die "Build A Flower". Oh, yeah, I deviated a little bit from the sketch and added a polka dotted layer. Why? Because if you look closely at the flowers I'm holding (top photo), you'll notice that they are wrapped with the same paper...literally, the same sheet of paper! Look for the green paper in one of my upcoming layouts! I love using little pieces of life in my layouts"!

Now it's your turn to take the challenge - see all the details in Scrap Our Stash Sketch Challenge below.

  5. Love that Polka dot layer. I think you did a nice job with the color scheme. I can see how those colors would otherwise be difficult to work with...but you definately made them work for you here.
