Paper Secrets Sketch Challenge

Sept 1st Challenge with a Twist!

 

 

 

And My Take on the Sketch...

 

 

For this LO I used the WE R Memory Keepers "Chalkboard" Collection.

I tried my hand at a little bit of Mixed Media by putting Gesso on a majority of the paper, after it dried I applied Gelatos to the edges and smudged some on the background in pink and blue. Then I spritzed and splattered the background with some blue. I also used pen to create a stitch look on my chevrons and around my circles so they would POP a little more. Lastly I used my embossing folder on the black banners this was the TWIST to the challenge. There you have it!

Thanks for looking!

Use Your Words Challenge

September 1 Challenge-Tough

“When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.”

Donald Trump

 

This is my first Entry for the challenge over at Use Your Words. The word was TOUGH and I really wasn't sure how the heck I could use that on a LO! I really wanted to use this picture of my DD and as I was working on it the Title just came to me!

 

This sketch was for another challenge at Purple Pumpkin - Another first for me but I really wanted to give it a try. I stepped out of my Comfort Zone and went a little artsy funky for me but it was fun and the  result was exciting!  

September sketch challenge!!!

 

 

 

I chose this Picture of my DD acting a little silly/crazy ...not her norm! I just love capturing this FUN side of her! I wanted the LO to be pretty but edgy at the same time to reflect how she was acting when the picture was taken.
