SOUS 100th Sketch Blog Hop


Welcome to the Stuck on U Sketches 100th Sketch Blog Hop! I'm so glad you could join us! If you are following along, you just came from Tracey G's  blog. If you get lost at any time, just go back to the SOUS blog and find your place. :)

When I saw the sketch below, I knew exactly which photos I wanted to use. These are of my daughter's first formal dance.



There are no earth shattering techniques here; just lots of paper layering, embellishment clusters and distressing.  But the sketch allowed me to keep the focus where it should be... on my beautiful girl.

Papers: Echo Park, Carta Bella, Unknown Vellum, Bazzill Basics; Title: Thickers by American Crafts & Cricut (Type Candy); Stamps: Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday, Tin Box for Scraptivity; Embellishments: My Minds Eye & Studio Calico gems, Creative Impressions brads, unknown doily, Stickles, Studio Calico Date Stamp


I used a Kerri Bradford SVG file to cut some snowflakes out of the irridescent vellum. My Cricut machine had a difficult time cutting out the circles, so now it looks embossed. Not the look I was going for, but since every snowflake was the same, a happy accident! ;)



Don't forget to start following the Stuck on U Sketches blog to be entered into a draw to win some great goodies! And if you leave a comment on my blog, I'll do a random draw for a RAK of my own!  Just remember to leave a comment before midnight MST February 7th and I will announce the winner on February 8th.

Now head on over to Shona's blog and see the loveliness that she has created with this sketch!

Thanks for looking,
Sylvie
