Creative Embellishments challenge for February with Sketches in Thyme Sketch

Hi Bev here.... I am sharing a photo of our new home with you on this page. It is based using the Harlequin Lattice inked chipboard. I added lots of floral print flowers from the mood board and the twist is the clipboard looking accent with handwriting on it.(see below) The fabulous green tied bow is accented with the vintage flourish set 2 which is ink covered. The title is scrabble type Alphabet Block letters. This page is trimmed with some fab fun stickers and accents along with the Seasons Change Flair button which is added to a cluster.

For this fabulous layout I used Sketches in Thyme February sketch challenge. (see below).

I  started with the amazing Harlequin Lattice inked background base for this page.  Using the floral prints i started the main design from the sketch.

The flourish is inked green to match the ribbon tied into a bow.

Lots of accents pulled and arranged along with many Creative Embellishments chipboards and the flair button.... all made into fabulous clustered sections.

Above shows the Alphabet Block scrabble looking title, the lattice and the flair button.

Great clustered section.

Bow tied and fabulous inked flourish accent.

Main section still showcases the new house photo.

The sticker clipboard has the hand written section for the twist.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have time to visit both blogs and play along with our monthly challenges.

I then cut the print pieces to fit the base... some fun prints and stripes look great together.

I prepared the centre piece with foam to pop it and matted a die cut Sentiment.

This card started with the Sheep Ski Design digital image which I copic coloured and die cut using a Tutti nesting tag die. I then cut more sizes of the nesting die using papers from the kit. Lots of fun layers and super use of the silver glitter sheet. I tied them off using gold and silver ribbon from my stash.

Lots of layers in the background too for more colour and depth. I then added the washi tape border in gold and die cut the sentiment in gold glitter paper.

I added some white brads to the right side corners.

The card has fun and bright colours and lots of layers.. really easy but it looks great.

Thanks for stopping by... see you again soon.

Let's Get Sketchy

What a great sketch by Brenshevia.. and the Carta Bella Collection made it

fall together. I substituted the extra photos with fun accents.

Lots of fun layers, twine tied corner, mated Title and some brads and 

a touch of stitching are great accents to compliment each other.

In this close up it shows the stitching, the journaling strips 

and a closer view of the details on tag section.

Be sure to stop over at Let's Get Sketchy and view

the amazing work of the other DT.

Let's Capture Our Memories

Today I am using this fabulous sketch below from Let's Capture our Memories and Melissa.

I flipped it sideways to get more sports photos on the page and wanted to also

add a circular photo instead of a circular embellishment.

I used Carta Bella - Beautiful Moments collection for a sports page 

but loved the way it turned out.

In the close ups I'll share some of the details. In the above photo you can

see the added banner and the addition of twine. The title

is partly chipboard and some stickers.

In this section you can see the added ticket stickers from the collection, a

scalloped border cut from the paper, a border of stars and some fun brads.

In this last close up I have the stared border cut to accent the corners of the paper,
added a popped up bird to the banner with twine added.

I guess what I liked best about this page was the fact that a normally
soft, flowery and feminine paper line looks great on this sports page.
When you do as many sports pages as I do .. your always
looking for something new to try.
