Creative Imaginations Sketch Contest

Creative Imaginations has a sketch contest going on until the end of the month. Check out the blog for complete info and enter for a chance to win $75.00 in the new IOD Loolah Collection.

Here's my take on this month's sketch. To say I had fun creating this is an understatement. First off, I absolutely adore this line, Ooh La La by Samantha Walker and secondly, I had the opportunity to break out the luminarte.

To create this layout: Start by cutting raindrops from paper and layering them on a white cardstock background and spritz with Apple Blossom luminarte. Paint French script stamp with Burnt Umber twinkling H2Os and then randomly stamp on the background. Splatter sunflower twinkling H2Os on background with a paint brush. Remove the raindrops and trace masked raindrops with brown pen. Punch scallop into brown cardstock and place approx. 2” from bottom of background. Layer with a border punched strip from French Scroll, the “Ohh La La” strip from Parisian Border, and a 2” strip from French Patch. Place 4 ½” x 2 ½” strip of “cursive words” from French Patch behind photo mat. Punch borders from cardstock and French Scroll and adhere to top right side of background. Embellish layout with flowers, rub-ons, rhinestone flourish 3D stickers, and felt alphabet.
