Let's Get Sketchy/Picture This "One Word" blog hop

Welcome to the Lets Get Sketchy/Picture This “One Word” Blog Hop.  You should have come from Joefil's blog. If you have stumbled across this by chance and want to play along then you can head back to the Let's Get Sketchy site to start at the beginning and to start collecting your challenge words. These words should be bolded on each DT member’s blog.
I chose the word "Faith" for my project. I created my layout using Blue Fern Studios papers along with a few scraps, pieces of Blue Fern chipboard, gesso, and misc. flowers and trinkets. On the background I added a little more texture and interest with random stamping and stenciling with modeling paste. Finishing it off with some splatters of acrylic paint in black and white.
Remember to play along in our hop challenge to win the wonderful prize from our sponsor, Creative Embellishments! My word is Knowing. Up next on the hop is Masami, make sure you hop over to the blog to check out her wonderful inspiration she has for you. Don't forget each team member has a hidden word somewhere on their page. Please grab all the words for your chance at an extra prize!

Sketch reveal for LGS

Hey everyone! It's time for a new sketch reveal at Let's Get Sketchy and I have my page based off the sketch to share with you. 
I used a mix of papers from Blue Fern Studios and Prima, as well as a few pieces from a Finnabair ephemera pack. On the background I've done a bit of stenciling, paint splatters, and a few dabs of gesso. After adhering all my layers under the photo together I mounted them on thin cardboard for dimension. For the chipboard swirl I lightly coated it with gesso, once dried I simply inked it a light pink and gave a couple random spots a touch of gold embossing. After all the embellishing was in place I gave the clusters a few dabs of gesso with a sponge to tie it all together.
Here are a few close ups of the details.
And here's our fabulous sketch this week.
Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see your takes on the sketch. 
Thanks so much for coming by! Hope you have an awesome day!
