ScrapFriends Sketch Challenge #9

ScrapFriends has an awesome sketch challenge. They always have interesting details on them. I really love this month with the zig-zag effect along the bottom edge:


I pretty much knew what I wanted to do straight away, which is unusual for me, normally it takes me about a week to decide just on the photos let alone the papers and design/style (no wonder I'm always a later entrant!). The designers did amazing work on this sketch, and definitely worth a look if you haven't already.

Here is my entry:


and some close-ups:




 I happened to have some feather printed vellum from Studio Calico and of course had to use it with this photo of my eldest stroking a feather against her cheek loving the softness of it. The feather trend is rather quirky and many scrappers work it really well, but it's not a trend that I have really embraced. However, I was glad I had some feathery stuff for this photo.

I have a fair bit of stitching on this layout, a little paint, some doodling, stamping, inking, and a die-cut feather from the vellum.

Thankyou so much for coming by!

  2. Oh Zeneva I truly love the softness of this page, the doodling to resemble a feather falling and the lightness of the pattern at the bottom of the page are just gorgeous. A really beautiful page to display around the home.
