Sketch Time!!!

We are almost at the middle of the month & you know what that means . . . a NEW sketch!!!  Here is your November sketch . . .



And here is what I came up with using the November Willow Creek Kit.  Full of rich, warm tones & small "pops" of color here & there, this kit was PERFECT for scrapping these fall pics of my 2 sons :)



If you received the kit, you may have noticed the Tim Holtz distress stain.  The muted yellow color was gorgeous & just the right addition to these white leaves I punched & embossed.  I wanted to color the leaves, but in such a way that the color was darker & lighter in some areas - looking more natural.  It was super easy to just glide over top of the leaf with the distress stain & let it "soak in" to the paper.  Then a quick dusting of chalk ink around the edges & voila - some fun colored & textured leaves!!!



I have recently been trying to use my tool stash - I tend to fall into the trap of just using what's in front of me.  Anyone else out there do the same??  If only I had more room on my desk for all my tools!!!!  For this layout & I broke out my Silhouette and used it to cut this cute title :)  Love the fun script font :)
