'Big Thanks'

I am on a roll!! Can't seem to prize myself away from my desk at the moment, but it's all helping to keep me on the straight and narrow :0) ....over a week now, so by my calculations that's £40 more to spend on paper, paint and pretty things!!!

I saw this week's sketch over at Let's Get Sketchy and thought it would be right up my street....albeit shrunk down!

It took a few little tweaks to get it right enough to go into an album....I went a bit mad with the mist...so not happy from the offset....I know, I know I should have started again, but I just can't bear to throw cardstock away!!

I made the chevron mask on the Silhouette and misted with Mr Huey and Tattered Angels mists and liked it. Then the postman delivered some new SC masks so I decided to use the star one...yeah I know hard to tell as the mist I used was clogged and squirted rather then misted...grrr! So there is a hint of the stars and then I turned the mask over to use up the residual ink. I cut the photo into two as there was a big gap between my Mum and Dad, wouldn't have thought of doing that if the sketch hadn't called out for 2 photos!

The title is cut on the Silhouette as is the arrow that you can hardly see on the left! Papers are Pink Paislee and MME. With Teresa Collins transparency and a chipboard corner from WRMK.

The heart and arrow were also done on the Silhouette. The 21 die cut is Pretty Little Studio (forgot I had them!) Teh stamp is MME, the felt flower is an old Heidi Swapp and the pearls are Kaisercraft

I added some drips of black ink to ground it all, and am now happy with the result :0)

Here is the sketch that inspired it all




Thanks for popping in,
