Once Upon A ....Sketch Layout

Having a week off over Easter I decided to do some challenges and Once Upon A Sketch caught my eye.  I have always admired their sketches but have never had enough time with work to do a layout, the end of month always came around when I was part way through!!!!!  Anyway, this month is different and here is my take on the sketch -  my marriage certainly was an event that changed my life.  My journaling is on the back of the layout.


I used Heartfelt Creations Paper - and purple was the colour of my bridesmaids. The stencil on the background is Tim Holtz Stripes using Viva Modelling Creme - Mother of Pearl.  Here are some close ups:


I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals, Mountain Lavender Gold to cover the chipboard banner.  I then added some Aged Embossing Enamel.


The heart is cut from the Cheery Lynn Designs "Two of Hearts" die cut.  I then coated it with Dimensional Magic and sprinkled it with Martha Stewart coarse glitter whilst wet.  (hard to see on this angle)


the bird cage was done in the same way as the banner.  The bird was cut from a Memory Box Die cut - Resting Birds.  The lighter flowers are made from Modge Podge Melts and painted with Magicals.


The larger heart is also a die cut - Memory Box Bingham Heart. The background stamps are from Bo Bunny and kaisercraft. The hatpin is from Petaloo.

Here is the sketch that I followed.  Dont forget to go to Once Upon A Sketch Blog and check all the entries and DT layouts out.  They are awesome.



Thanks for stopping by :)
