Today is reveal day at Let's Get Sketchy. We have a great sketch to work with and I had a lot of fun with it.
I had this photo printed in 5x7 a long time ago, and it's just been sitting in a photo box. He finally lost his first tooth in January 2009. It was really loose and we were afraid he was going to swallow it, so we had to pull it out.
First of all, I used a larger photo and centered it on the page. I layered the banner, also centering it under the photo. Instead of a full fledged banner at the top of the page, I cut the paper, opened it and slipped another paper behind it. I used twine to hold the flaps open. I played up the red as a weightier color as well as contrast to the colors in the photo. All the patterns are busy together, so I limited the embellishments, but I did add the arrow clip pointing at his smile.
I can't wait to see what you come up with using this terrific sketch at Let's Get Sketchy.
Supplies:
PP, washi & enamel dots-MME
twine-Doodlebug
Alphas-Thickers
Arrow-Freckled Fawn
