Kim here today to share my take on the March Sketchy Challenge. This fun sketch was designed by the talented Kerry Engel; who shared several takes of this sketch in our Sketchy Gallery.
I choose to work with this sketch while on retreat a few weeks back. I am not a productive scrapbooker at retreats because I socialize and enjoy the company around me, I find it hard to create with so much going on but wouldn’t miss them for the world…retreats are just plain good for the soul!
I used paper and die-cuts from Kaisercraft’s “Me Collection”. It was the perfect retreat paper…I grabbed 3 Chameleons pens and randomly coloured some of the doodles on the page…all while keeping up with the stories going on around me!
I grabbed my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L tape runner to put everything in place! My title is made from older Tim Holtz “idea-ology” grunge board alpha; coloured black with my Chameleon pens…the grunge board took the inks so beautifully. I added a bit of green “wink of Stella” over my black title which adds just a bit of glimmer without being over the top!
I loved working with this sketch and can see using it over and over again as a starting point to create! If you use our sketches, be sure to upload your layouts to our gallery to inspire others!
