As soon as I saw this sketch I thought of a photo that my niece & her lovely partner posted on FB not long ago. So I asked our gorgeous Lara if it was okay if I used the photo for my Design Team sample for this challenge. They look so perfectly happy in this photo, I love it...
I've used a bubble stencil from Kaisercraft & texture paste for the background, then stamped over it with a script stamp, then threw a bit of mist about on it. The paper is from Bo Bunny and flowers from Prima. The title "Love & happiness" & heart are wood veneer from Prima as well which I've painted with green 3D paint, which gives it a sparkly effect. The tag is a vintage graphic that I printed off the internet a long time ago, onto a shipping tag.
The washi tape is from Craft Queen and the beautiful chippy hearts are from 2Crafty. I've had them in my stash for ages just waiting for the perfect page to use them on. The zipper is one I purchased in London, funnily enough from the V&A Museum. They have a lot of handmade sewing items in their gift shop but they also had things like zippers, buttons, hand-made jewellery and the like. I love the scallop edge on this zipper.
So there you have it. I really hope you are inspired to have a go at this sketch. We'd love to see your creations over at Sketchabilities. Thanks for looking & please feel free to leave a comment, oh & don't forget to check out the fantastic Sponsor for this challenge :)
