time for a sketch at anything goes challenge, ..this fortnight

well it is time for another Dt piece for anything goes..
and this time is sketch time....
 
now i will admit to finding sketches a huge challenge!!!
but i know that many people love them ....
so here is my piece:

 
 
and here is the sketch...

 
make you you pop across here to see the great makes from my team mates
and maybe pop in an entry yourselves..
as always lots of crafty goodies can be found at craftden ...
 
so i decided  to do a book...
and add the elements in the best way i could..
i crackled the background of the book and used a limited colour palette..
i added this fab image form the Artistic Stamper as my focal point..

 
lots of Tim die cuts..
coloured using distress embossing powders and crackle paint..

 
idea-ology
and washers and bits from stash..
 
so make you you pop across here to see the other dt makes..
 
 
have a fun and inky day!

  11. Great cover Trace and interesting use of the limited colour palette. I would be horrified if I had to do a sketch - wouldn't know where to start! Like the stamped image very much.

  14. Fantastic - who knew gray could have such variation, texture and be so beautiful!?! The crackle background is just yummy - and great to see that fab image (which I've been eyeing for a while over at AS) being given centre stage... love it!
