Happy Memorial Day morning all! It's reveal time again at Let's Get Sketchy. This is my take on this week's fabulous sketch designed by Tabitha Triplett
I used BoBunny's MamaRazzi collection 1 papers on this. Did some random masking in the background and layers with CW tiny tiles mask and Shimmerz Texturez in Patina. That stuff is amazing, I want it in every color! And I added a few flicks of Shimmerz Vibez in Before Dawn to the background. I made the chipboard gears using Spellbinders "Spritely sprockets" dies by Donna Salazar. I inked them in silver, then heat embossed them with silver and a little black, finishing them with some black ink to the edges. I raided the garage for some washers, nuts, and the spring that I dabbed with gesso. I hope my husband didn't have plans for the spring, it was just sitting on his workbench begging me to use it.
I just couldn't help myself, I added three flowers on the layout. But it's only three and I toned them down by dabbing a touch of gesso to them.
And here's this week's sketch
