Let's Get Sketchy - August 15th Sketch

Hi crafty friends, welcome to my blog!

I can't believe it's mid August already. So, here's a new sketch from Let's Get Sketchy for 15th August challege

and here's my take

I love using mixed media for a layout but somehow I seldom use it. So this time I decided to apply mixed media for my layout.

I used a stencil from Kaisercraft, which I love so much. I used light pink ink over the stencil to create subtle yet interesting texture for my page. Next I splattered gold, black and pink color shine mist from Heidi Swapp to create even more texture. I really love the end result!

Thanks so much for stopping by and do take time to play along. Don't forget to link up your layout at Let's Get Sketchy blog so you'll get a chance to win the fabulous prize!

Have a fabulous day and happy crafting!

Let's Get Sketchy - July 1st Sketch

Hello my crafty friends, welcome to my blog!

I can't believe it's July already! It seemed that only yesterday that I celebrated the holy month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Boy, time flies so quickly!

Well, 1st day of the month means new a sketch from Let's Get Sketchy. Here's the sketch created by Brenshevia

 

And here's my take

I decided to dig in deep into my stash so I used the long hoarded The Sweetest Things collection from My Mind's Eye. The papers in this collection are beautiful and really went well with the color of the photo. Perfect!

I was in the mood for mixed media when I created this layout. So I pulled out my stencils and used them to add extra textures on my layout.

I used tile mania stencil from Crafter's Workshop with orange tone ink that would match the color of the paper. I also used leaf stencil from Dyan Reaveley Dylusions with light green ink. Next I used Art Is stencil from Crafter's Workshop but this time with white texture paste so it would give an extra dimension to the page.

I really like the way it came up together. So lovely!

I hope you could play along with us at Let's Get Sketchy! Happy crafting!
