Lets Get Sketchy - One Word - December 4-6 Blog Hop

Hi Crafty Friends !! :-)

Welcome to the Lets Get Sketchy/Picture This “ My One Word” Blog Hop.  You should have come from Laetitia's blog. http://triniti59760.blogspot.fr/

If you have stumbled across this by chance and want to play along then you can head back to the Let's Get Sketchy site Lets Get Sketchy to start at the beginning and to start collecting your challenge words.

My layout that I created is  based around the one word "Smile" I thought it appropriate as my youngest son has the cutest smile and is a happy smiling boy (most of the time).

I used a crafters workshop stencil and twinkling h20's for the bright background, circle frame die cuts, MFT Flourish die cut, some of my favourite stamps and some gorgeous flowers from Kaisercraft, Manor House and flower centres from Evalicious.

Background - Inked Leaf Technique

 

 

Hi Everyone!!

 

Here is the promised Background Technique photo tutorial.

 

1. Gather together desired leaves from the garden and your selected ink pads and baby wipes.

 

 

 

 

 

2.  Ink up your under side of your leaves, generally the under side is more textural and makes for a better print.

 

 

 

 

3. Gently place the leaves in the desired position and using your baby wipe inked with a lighter colour ( I used green distress ink) gently press and wipe over the top of the leaves. You'll get a gorgeous print of the leaf and bonus background colour as well.

 

4. Here is the finished result.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed the tutorial.
