Layouts From Sketches

Hello! I'm back with my last couple of layouts from the last few weeks. These both used sketches.

First up is this sketch from Sketches In Thyme:

I had a lot of fun with this sketch. I started with a sheet of white cardstock for the background and the sheet of yellow chevron paper. I cut the patterned paper and marked on my background where it would be. I then used the plastice packaging technique to add some yellow and grey inks to the background. I dried that most of the way and added some black splatters. Once that was all totally dry, I adhered the patterned paper and photos. I cut the title from the backside of the chevron paper and from black cardstock two more times. I layered the yellow on top of the black to give the shadow effect. To embellish the page, I used some washi tape, die cuts, and tiny enamel dots.

 Next is this sketch from Paper Issues:

I started by using my Cricut to make the big circular element with drawing and cutting. I added the photos and cut the title using my Cricut as well. I had these darker wood veneer pieces that went well with the paper I used for the background of my title, so I used those to embellish my page (the pieces on either side of my title were actually one piece that I cut in half and sanded the edges). I used a few other die cuts from my stash and some brown metallic Nuvo drops to finish off the layout.
