September 2024 - Challenge #3 Let's Get Sketchy

 Welcome back for our third challenge of the month! This one's always a sketch challenge to help get your creative juice flowing! 

As a reminder, here's our inspiration kit for the month, Daily Journal by Cocoa Daisy. 

I created a brand-new sketch just to use with this kit this month! Here's the sketch to work with & I of course had to play along! For my layout, I added some texture paste and shimmery sprays to a pre-made Vicki Boutin background piece and I love how it turned out! 

I encourage you to get a little bit messy & creative with the background! Add texture! Have fun! 

Our Guest Designer Amy Jo played along with our sketch challenge and here's what she had to say: 

"I always have a hard time using these graphic background papers but decided to give it a try seeing the background of the sketch. 

For the flower clusters I used up a bunch of small leftover pieces of patterned papers from previous layouts this month…jumpstart on using up the scraps!!"

 

Master Forger Tara used some ink smooshing and stenciling with two shades of Distress Oxide ink for some fast mixed media. She let the black and white floral pattern on her patterned paper do most of the heavy lifting along with two chipboard frames and some ephemera from her kit. It made for a pretty fast but textural layout. 

Master Forger Vikki created this beautiful layout based upon the sketch!
