Pencil Lines: sketch 183

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

A new sketch went up at Pencil Lines yesterday:

Sk183
Turn it ninety degrees to the right and you'll see where my inspiration came from!

I used Studio Calico's Anthology and Homefront lines.

The title looks like it's painted in the scan, but it's hand cut.  An exacto knife and a pair of scissors and about ten minutes.

I'm all about the layers these days.  Lots of layers of color and texture to be found here!

And edge distresser really is a lovely tool!

To create this journaling card, I glued the packaging insert from the densely patterned journaling cards onto one of the densely patterned cards, added a line and some stitches, and scribbled in my journaling!

Thanks for stopping by!
