My guy

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
I hope you get a chance to play around with the sketch and link your project back to us. I'd love to see your work. Thanks for dropping in and letting me share this with you. Have a terrific day!
