Perfect for LGS

Happy Monday everyone! It's time for a new sketch reveal at Let's Get Sketchy and I have my inspiration page to share with you.
It's a quick and  easy page that I created. Not all my layers ended up as tilted as the sketch, but I'm happy with the end result. For this page I started by distressing my layers, stamping randomly, and then adding splatters to the background. I mounted the photo mat layers on a regular piece of cardboard for dimension, then mounted the photo on a thin piece of cardboard before adhering it to the page. Once the embellishments were in place I covered the photo and gave the page a few more splatters of the acrylic paint in black and banana cream.
And here's this week's sketch that I turned for my page.
Now it's your turn! Thanks so much for coming by! Hope you have a creative day!

Wake Me for the Witching Hour *Reneabouquets*


For this page I used a mix of papers from MME and Carta Bella. On the Carta Bella polka dot paper I trimmed off the side and bottom one inch each side, then inked the edges with Black Soot distress ink, distressing the edges in a few random spots with the Prima distress tool. Next I stamped in some random areas, adding more texture with a Prima stencil and texture paste, then added some splatters of acrylic paint in white and burnt orange. Once it dried, I matted the polka dot paper onto cardboard before adhering it to the MME paper for dimension, then added the clock face overlay. I mounted the cute photo on a thin piece of cardboard before adding layers underneath. After I had the layers together I mounted them on a piece of cardboard. Lots of dimension happening on this page lol
After I adhered the layers I added a couple of the beautiful Witch's Brew butterflies and the Victorian Days lace to the layers.
Once I had all the embellishment clusters in place I added the Microbeads to random spots and a few more splatters for a finishing touch.
