Lasting Memories Sketch Challenge with Creative Memories Earthy Outdoors Addition


This is my very last full sheet from my Creative Memories Earthy Outdoor Additions kit.  I have just a couple of photo mats and stickers left.  I thought this last sheet fit perfectly with the sketch challenge at Lasting Memories this month.  Since I didn't have much paper left, I cut a photo mat in half for the blue bottom layer.  

Here is the sketch.  There is also a twist to the challenge: use something with feathers!


The sketch came together so easy, I thought I have to do something else though to make this layout pop.  That's when I remembered a blog post I read just Friday over at Unruly Paper Arts about enameling chipboard.  Please forgive, it was my first try at this technique. I used a mixed color ink pad to get different colors on the feathers then I used several layers of glassy glaze from Stampin Up.  My primary problem was that the feathers were so small they kept blowing over from the heat gun.  I think I will do better next time I try and I can't wait!



Ingredients:
Creative Memories Earthy Outdoor Addition kit
CM Sticker letters and leaf sticker
TCP Studio The Great Outdoors stickers
Jenni Bolin Chipboard feathers
Color Box Cocoa and At the Beach inks
Stampin Up Glassy Glaze
Quick Quotes Java chalk
