OUAS - July challenge

Hello lovelies

The school holidays have been a bit of a flop so far - miserable weather teamed with illness, doth not a happy house make!

If it's wet in your part of the world, and have some time for craftiness, Once Upon A Sketch has a smashing challenge for July. This is my take...



Journalling Theme: "Grow"




Your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch.

Please make sure that we see some sort of journalling on your layouts and please tell us where your journalling is . You are allowed to journal in any language but please tell us where on your page we will find your journalling. Remember journalling has to be a bit more than a title, or a generic comment. Hidden journalling is perfectly fine.

I wanted to use this quote as it really sums up Erin's personality. She has a devil-may-care attitude at times. Some days it drives me mad, other days I wish I had her tenacity and lust for life!



I've used this gorgeous Imaginarium Designs 6x6 Honeycombe cutting a section, splitting the hexagons out, then misted with 2 shades of Color Shine, Gold Lamé and Bronzer. I've used the grid as a stencil and trimmed some hexagons out of some Bo Bunny Double Dot. Some of these I've raised on foam tape and others I used as a backing in the negative space.

The middle photo opens to reveal my journalling.


A pretty Amy Tan stamp, some 'aged' hexagons and some shadow stamping from the left over grid.

Materials used: Paper: Prima Engraver Cesello, Bo Bunny Double Dot Pink Punch. Lilac card stock. Embellishments: Imaginarium Designs Honeycombe, Color Shine, AC Thickers, resin flower, Silhouette Cameo

This is the sketch. Entries can be linked up on the sidebar. Entries close midnight, 25th July.

Thanks for popping in!
