Good Monday to you. Today is a new sketch challenge reveal at Let's Get Sketchy. This week we have a lovely one photo sketch with many possibilities.
My sister took this beautiful photo of our Nani on her 96th birthday. I wasn't able to be there. but when I called to say Happy Birthday, Nani told me she had the BEST day! I absolutely love that she still likes to celebrate her birthday. I think it is worth recording for that reason.
I loved the idea of the bokeh papers to help tell the story and bring the candles to life. The rest of the elements are a mix of modern (wood pieces) with heirloom (doilies & sequins). The bright colors also show the brightness of the celebration. I also used the current challenge, T-W-I-N-E, from Scrap Our Stash to aid in my embellishment choices. Two alphas, Wood, Inked edges, Nani in the photo (or nine total sequins), and Echo Park papers
Thanks for looking into my creative view today. I hope you will come back again, as I have lots to share this week.
