sunday sketch | Stephanie

Happy Sunday! We're back with two new sketches. The first is a card from Jen Jockisch's Neverland gallery - this tall skinny card has a simple graphic design.

For the layout sketch, we have a classic grid design from Susan's Weinroth's gallery.

This week, we asked SC user Stepahnie Bryan to make a project based on one of the sketches - she choose to take on Susan's design for her layout.

Supplies used : SC Sundrifter 6x6 paper pad, SC Sundrifter Die Cut Cardstock Shapes, SC wood veneer stars, SC wood veneer heart, SC Front Row labels, Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic Die Cut Shapes & Stickers, Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm sticker, Martha Stewart fabric flower, Ali Edwards Hello Heart Boxes, Zing Opaque White embossing powder, Watercolors, Sewing machine

Stephanie says :

I am a grid girl so I loved loved loved this sketch. As soon as I saw the sketch I knew exactly what picture of my daughter I wanted to use and the color combo I was going for. The Studio Calico Sundrifter collection was perfect for the lightness of my photo. I wanted to add some pops of yellow to the page so I cut down a piece of yellow star transparency I had in my stash and also painted (with watercolors) a piece of card stock I had embossed with a flower image. I added the yellow ribbon at the end to soften it up a little. I used my Silhouette to cut the title and the Ali Edwards "Love You" box and then added little embellishments here and there to finish my page. Thank you so much SC for inviting me to play along. This was an awesome challenge!

Stephanie's layout has a beautiful dreamy feel thanks to the soft colors and gorgeous photo - a perfect example that grid designs don't need to feel too graphic. Thanks for sharing your work with us, Stephanie! If you want to see more from Stephanie, stop by her SC gallery or her blog, or check her out on Instagram.
