The Crisp Days of Fall

Good morning all! It's time for a new sketch reveal at Stick It Down and I have my inspiration page to share with you.

 I have used some older BoBunny papers for this page. I think they were from the Autumn Song collection. I started by stamping around the background with the Tim Holtz "speckles" stamp, and a script stamp, then a floral/leaf stamp from Glitz Designs around where my photo was going. Using the Tim Holtz "speckles" stencil and gold metallic paint I created some texture on the background, then distressed the edges.

And here's our fabulous sketch that I mirrored for my page.

Thanks so much for coming by and letting me share with you! Hope you have a creative day!

Wonderful for Reneabouquets

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my latest layout that I've created featuring products from Reneabouquets.com and Reneabouquets Etsy shop.

I have used FabScraps Steel Chic papers for this page. I started by distressing and tearing my background layers, tucking lace between the torn edges. Using a CW stencil and Prima chalk ink in Rusty Bucket I added a bit more color and interest to the background. Then I did some random stamping using Mix'd Media ink in Patina. Next I added some more texture using molding paste and Tim Holtz stencil Gothic (THS0026). I distressed the photo and adhered a piece of cardboard underneath for dimension. I then matted the photo with a couple pieces of the FabScraps paper that I tore, distressed, and crumpled a bit. I placed a baroque metal frame along the left of the photo with flowers tucked around it. On the right side of the photo I placed some of the natural cotton crochet lace with a few more flowers and one of the Memory Keeper butterflies. I love mixing metals with the softness of flowers. Then for a little bling I added pearls to the stencil design and clusters. As a finishing touch I dry brushed a bit of gesso around the page and embellishments.

Aren't those Butterflies simply gorgeous? I love the copper antennae. 

Products used from Reneabouquets.com  and Reneabouquets Etsy Shop are: Baroque Metal Frame,  Ranger Artist brushes, Memory Keeper Butterflies, Natural Cotton Crochet Cluny Lace 001
