Higher & Higher

Hello,
I have another layout that was submitted at Sketches in Thyme http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com/

for their sketch challenge #92.

This is the sketch:

This is what I created:

Our son, jumping on the trampoline.  He's got quite the stance... ram-rod straight... preparing

for the even higher jump!  His two cousins better watch out!  :)

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok

Swirls: Traced the die cuts & hand cut

Gesso mixed with Folk Art Paint

Perfect Pearls Mists

Dots Stencil

Distressing

Font: Cricut Stamped

Cricut

String

Sharpie Marker

Circles: Hand Cut

I lightly traced lines onto the circle (mainly because I usually end up with a beautiful "slant").

I erased most of the lines but then decided "some" of the lines showing looked better.  The

edges were distressed.  

 These swirls were actually the backing peeled off the chipboard shapes.  I kept the peeling and

adhered it to cardstock so I reuse it as a template.

The swirls were dabbed with Gesso mixed with paint for a slight color and misted.

 A scalloped border was added behind the photo and distressed.  

A small portion goes over the swirls.  I tried squishing it onto the block without going over the

swirls, but it looked too crammed.  I like how this turned out.

 I used a dotted stencil to place over the circle and generously dabbed the mixture to add a 

bit of dimension.  Once that dried, this was also misted.

String was looped and placed under the corner of the photo.

Thanks for stopping by!
