Hello everyone! I’m up on the Sketches in Thyme blog today, showcasing a sketch by Bev Code:

I was instantly drawn to this sketch because of the all the mixed media. I had so much going in my brain, I ended up using a gelato, 2 Shimmerz products and modeling paste using stencils, the packaging technique and even some stamping!

And here is what the completed layout looks like:

I used papers from “Wild @ Heart” by The Paper Studio, along with bits and pieces from various manufacturers – MAMBI, The Paper Studio, Heidi Swap, American Crafts. And sequins and bling too!

The lips were fussy cut from pattern paper.

The stamped quote reads: “Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog.”
