Good afternoon fellow scrappers! I'm up on the
Berry71Bleu for the month of August. For this month the challenge is simply to follow a sketch created by fellow DT member Sandra
Przybylska.
This little 'heartbreaker' is my son at about 6 months of age. He's wearing one of my husband's baseball caps. This particular photo is one of my faves where the hat fell to the side of his head & he's peeking out from behind it with one eye! :-)
Here's the sketch provided by Sandra. It's simple but very versatile. The elements can be interpreted in so many ways. Take this sketch & make it your own!
I've included many embellishments, bits & bobs that go with the theme of this page. I wanted a couple of embellishments such as the yellow elephant to represent him as a baby & the more masculine embellishments such as the bow tie & mustache is to represent the 'little man' he's growing up to be.
Here's a close up of the the steampunk hot air balloon chipboard by
Creative Embellishments. All of the paints & mediums applied to the chippie was done with my finger. I've been without a scrap room for over a month right now since it's being renovated & I didn't have any brushes of any kind available to me. I'm currently scrapping out of my dining room & have access to a limited amount of supplies...so finger it was!
I first applied a coat of white gesso, followed by red acrylic paint. I finished it up by adding a coat of transparent glitter paint & crackle paint.
Layering several elements has lately been my go to technique. Punchinella is slowly starting to become one of my fave background elements. I've used a piece of bright red punchinella in the background of all my layers & I love the effect it adds as it peeks out from underneath all the layers.
Supplies: Paper - 7 Dots Studio, Chipboard - Creative Embellishments, Embellishments -
Chantal Vandenberg, Freckled Fawn, Punchinella,
Panda Eight Designs, Flowers - Prima,
