Do your hot days of summer need some cooling off? Maybe this fan will help! Laurie is our hostess for Weekend Sketch Challenge #90 today. You can find the sketch and her sample over at her blog this morning. Here's my interpretation:
I seem to be keeping things very simple lately, so I minimized on the layers shown on the sketch and added machine stitching to act as one of the layers. Adding to the quick & simple ... instead of using two squares behind the focal image, I used one rectangle and then used twill ribbon to visually cut the layer in half, while adding some texture.
Karen Lockhart's Electric Fan (#2088) image was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, to keep with the brown tones of the kraft cardstock and patterned paper, and colored with these Copic markers:
I used Clear Copic Spica Glitter Pen on the air blowing from the fan. Hopefully that will show in this closeup:
These talented ladies have samples of this sketch for you today, too: Beate, Cami, Charmaine, Jenn and Lori. I'll be back at 3pm Central today with my Dare To Get Dirty Challenge!
A bit of houskeeping: Yes, I got bored and changed my blog header/banner again! I also rearranged a few things and now you can find all of my other pages listed in a row right under the banner.
