Pencil Lines has a very cool sketch this week:
I love all of the movement and energy in this hand drawn sketch. Plus, I'm a huge fan of circles! Check out what I made with the sketch:
This layout came together relatively quickly. I used the Joyland kit from Studio Calico, which is one of my all time favorite kits. I just love all the yellows and oranges and blues. What a fantastic grouping of colors! Anyway, check out the details:
I did a bit of misting – to mimic the splash into the pool – and some stitching for added texture. The yellow background paper is the “B” side of some patterned paper. And the selvedge edge on this back side is that blue checkered strip you see above. The two scallops are rub-ons I put on patterned paper and then cut out.
Stitching down chipboard letters is one of my go-to techniques these days. Keeps them from falling off.
(I often get questions about stitching through chipboard. My advice is to increase your stitch length, use a heavy duty needle — like a topstitch needle — and go slowly.)
You can check out the rest of the girls' layouts here.
Thanks for stopping by!
