Sunday Sketch | Marie
We know that our members love sketches, so this week we are again offering you
TWO...one for cards and one for layouts!! The card sketch is from Andrea Budjack's Planetarium gallery:
And the layout is from Tina Aszmus' Planetarium Gallery:
We invited member Marie (MarieL) to choose one of these to use as a starting point this week, and she couldn't stop at just one!! She wowed us with both of the projects she submitted!!
Using the layout sketch:
Supplies: Cardstock (American Crafts); Pink Vellum (Recollections); Cut Design (Studio Calico: Atlantic Sail With Me); Wood Veneer Typewriter (Studio Calico); Tags (Crate Paper); Digital Word Stamp: (Ali Edwards: Spring
Hand Drawn Words @ designerdigitals); Calendar (Katie Pertiet @ designerdigitals); Butterfly Punch (Martha Stewart)
I really love how everything is centered vertically with a big bold
title in the middle. I switched things up and put my journaling on the
top half of the page and my photo on the bottom half. I wanted to use
some transparent elements similar to the original
page, so I took pink vellum paper and made a little pocket and a few
butterflies. I don't normally use so much pink on my layouts, but I
thought the color reflected spring and the cherry blossoms.
And this one with the card sketch:
Supplies: Cardstock (American Crafts), Washi Tape (Crate Paper: The Pier); Wood Veneer (Studio Calico); Tags (Crate Paper); Journal Shapes and cutouts: (Studio Calico Digital Printable: Planetarium #2)
I had a lot of fun using a card sketch for a layout. I made my page in
landscape format (11x8.5") which is something I haven't done before, but
I ended up liking it and will probably use it again. I thought the big
circle would be perfect for a photo of my
son playing in the creek with his cousins. The strips of paper on the
right side turned into strips of washi tape on my layout. I used a
plain white cardstock background and then added pops of bright, primary
colors. Overall I followed the sketch pretty
closely while making this layout. I will definitely remember to use a
card sketch as a source of inspiration in the future.
Love the variety of elements on Marie's projects! Her clean, linear style draws me right in, and I love how she uses pastels and bold colors in equally awesome ways for impact...thank you so much for joining us
this
week, Marie!! You can see more inspiration from her in her SC Gallery, and on her blog.
