Guest Designer for Scrapidées

I was delighted when Paloma invited me to be a guest designer at the Scrapidées blog!  Here's the sketch I drew:

And here's my layout:

I stuck pretty closely to the sketch (which, when it's your sketch tends to happen).  Check out the details:

I did some Copic airbrushing through a doily (with yellow, orange, and red) to create the doily pattern on the background.  The journaling was typed up on a typewriter.


I painted the raw chipboard letters with gold paint and then tied long blue embroidery floss bows through them.  If you look at the photos, the dominant color is red, but there is quite a bit of blue too, so I was glad to have a way to tie (no pun intended) it in with the embroidery floss.

My favorite way to do a title these days!  Copic airbrushed the big stenciled letters and then I used paint to create the black part of the title.

You can see the Scrapidées Design Team's work here.  And you really *should* click through that link.  Lots and lots of fabulous artsy-ness awaits you!  Those are some paint loving girls!  I would love it if you would play along and share your interpretation of my sketch!

Thanks for stopping by!
