Hello there crafters!!! I hope you are having fabulous weather in this hot July we are having!!!
I'm here today with an amazing new sketch challenge over at Let's Get Sketchy!
Here's a look at this weeks' sketch:
And here is my page:
This is my first attempt as using a large die-cut in my background so I had quite a time!
I used a cut file from A Cutt Above the Rest for my background die-cut, then inked it with a number of different distress inks and misted it with black Dylusions mist! After it was dry I matted it with smooth white cardstock.
I added my photo (this is my oldest daughter on a cruise we took last year! This giant octopus sculpture is on the ship! I made a flower cluster to the corner of my pic with machine cut die-cuts and hemp cord!

I knew I wanted to use the "Summertime" title from Creative Embellishments for this page. I applied a thin coat of gesso atop of it, a small amount of molding paste for texture, then added Spiced Marmalade Distress Stain. Once dried, I applied Smooch Accent ink in Sundance for some shimmer!
Here's another close-up of the texture and mixture of mediums :-)
Well gang.. Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
