Scrapbooking Global August 2020 Blog Hop sketch Sharni

Scrapbooking Global August 2020 Blog Hop

Each month our Scrapbooking Global hop has a theme/challenge.
This month, our challenge is to use the scrapbook sketch below.

Our beautiful sketch was designed by design team member Sharni.
And, all of us hopping will be sharing our take on this wonderful map.

It was tempting to copy the sketch exactly!
But in the end, I chose to CASE and change a few things while keeping the feel of the original sketch.

For the Blushing Bride layer, I cut the piece in half vertically.
Then, I cut the left hand portion in half horizontally so that I could emboss it with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder.
Doing this meant that the words on the top and bottom panels would all be right side up.
Next, I used a Water Painter and Champagne Shimmer Paint to add splatter across the designer paper and Blushing Bride layers.

The movement in the base layer of In Good Taste designer paper mimics the movement in the sketch.
Adding the strip layer matches the sketch and also hides the seam where my two piece of embossed Blushing Bride meet.
To finish the strip, I accented with designer paper.
Then, I used the Small Bloom Punch to cut notches in either side of the strip before wrapping with Braided Linen Trim.
After pulling the trim to loosen the weave, it’s adhere with Mini Glue Dots.

To finish that visual line, I added a small strip of designer paper.
Using a piece of Foam Adhesive Strip in the gap between photo mats worked perfectly to adhere the strip but leave it free along the edges .
This will make it easy to add photos later without covering up the design element.
