April Sketches at Stick it Down

 April Double Page Sketch

Here is my take on the double page sketch over at Stickitdown.blogspot.com for the month of April!

I used Kaisercraft Explorer for my pictures from our trip to Nashville.  The die cut pack even had a little Parthenon in it!  I love the light neutrals in this collection and I really hope to find more to purchase since it's an older collection.  Here are some close ups:

And now for the single page sketch....

 

 

 

I made the background with a 12x12 stencil from Stencil Revolution.  I used distress oxide inks in Seedless Preserves and Wild Honey.  The papers are just some I grabbed that I thought matched.  I believe the orange background one is Vicki Boutin.  I die cut the flowers from a kraft paper and a gel print paper I had in my stash.  Thanks for looking and I hope you play along over at Stickitdown.blogspot.com! 

March Sketch Challenges at Stick It Down

 Up first is the single page sketch for March at Stickitdown.blogspot.com

I decided to do some stash bashing.  I hadn't dug into my Altenew hoard in  quite a while so I started there.  I used Altenew papers, chipboard, title, etc.

Here's a closer look:

I distressed some edges and inked some edges with Faded Jeans Distress Ink.  I used tag dies from my stash to cut the tags.  Thanks for looking and be sure to play along at Stick it Down!

March Double Page Sketch

 

This one shows 4 photos but the sketch an always be adjusted to your needs.

 

My take on it:

 I used Simple Stories Birthday Blast 12x12 papers.  I like how the bright colors compliment my photos.  I used a Honey Bee 6x6 paper pad for the balloons.  This is the die I used to make the shaker balloon:

Here's a closer look:

February 2022 Double Page Sketch at Stick It Down

 Double Page Sketch Challenge at Stickitdown.blogspot.com

 

I really like the variety and sizes of photos included on this sketch.  I decided to scrap some beach vacation photos from 2021.  I used some cut files from Cut to You (title and shells) and used Cocoa Vanilla's Sunkissed collection.  I did apply some distress oxide behind my clusters and large title to give it some dimension and interest.
