more than words can say

Good morning! Here we are in mid June already can you believe it? This year is half way over and flying right on by way too fast. And it's time for a new sketch reveal at Colorful Creations so today I have my inspiration page to share with you.
I used a mix of Prima papers from Stationer's Desk and Cartographer collections. I went around the edges with my scissors giving the papers a sort of pinking effect then inked the edges with Prima chalk ink in Dark Bark. On the background I used the Kaisercraft script stamp to add a bit of interest. Then using the CW Tiny Tiles stencil and the Dark Bark ink I went around the background again here and there. Finally finishing the background with the CW stencil and some modeling paste mixed with turquoise acrylic paint. I was trying to pull the turquoise from the flowers on my daughter's shirt. The flowers, lace, pearls, hemp cord, and cheese cloth are all out of my stash. The pen nibs are from Tim Holtz.
The chicken wire chipboard is from Gina's Designs which I simply heat embossed with Antique Gold embossing powder then gave a few random dabs of the turquoise modeling paste.
And here's our fabulous sketch designed by Brenshevia
I was also playing along with 1~2~3 Get Scrappy's June tic-tac-toe board using the left column straight down.
Thanks for coming by, I truly appreciate it! Have an awesome day!
