Sunshine & Daydreams

Hello everyone! Today I worked with the latest sketch by Let’s Get Sketchy

14502683_1761097940829074_6147136141958640520_n

I was really drawn to the sketch but didn’t know what I was going do. Mixed media/stenciling or paper scraps. And this is what I came up with:

sunshine-daydreams

I chose this very happy photo of Penny and Bear from last spring. As I was going thru some papers, I found a super cute cascading hearts stencil and decided to use a Faber-Castell gelato in banana to get started. I sealed it with a glaze.

The various word art stickers are from Simple Stories (as well as the stencil and pattern papers). The sequins are MME and Darice; with the arrows by Studio Calico.

The pattern papers, stencil and stickers are from the Simple Stories “Good Day Sunshine”, which is also from my November Use It or Lose It Challenge.

You’re my favorite!

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!

Another one bites the dust!

Good morning everyone! Today I’m sharing with you the newest Sketches in Thyme Sketch.

Team 2

How fun is this? Love the hint of mixed media with the smaller photos and the white space.

Here is my take on it:

Another one bites the dust

Journaling reads: Penny went thru a phase where she’d pull stuffing out of old blankets and comforters. She’d find the smallest hole and have a field day. These blankets were really old – 15-20 years old. She sure had fun! May 24, 2013

For my mixed media, I chose to start with some gesso (painting it with quick strokes using an old toothbrush). After that dried, I used Shimmerz Vibez in Jeni B Blue for splatters and some misting. Came back with my Crafter’s Workshop stencil with black ink for the half circles. Polished it off with paw prints stamped in yellow ink.

After that dried, using the colors from my mixed media work (white, yellow and blue), I pulled papers/stickers from Fancy Pants “Park Bench” collection. I don’t have much left of it but tons of stickers. I even used a border strip (the floral pieces). That is from my September Use It or Lose It post, as well as the “today” PL card from Dear Lizzy and paw print stamps from Inkadinkado.

TFL! 🙂
