Sketches in Thyme - May

Time for another scrapbook challenge!

Full details can be found HERE

This months prize is a gift voucher from

Freckled Fawn

I did a double page layout for this month using the sketch for both pages as inspiration.

This is my take on the above sketch. 

I made two stamps out of blue foam to depict rock art, these images were then stamped onto some Bazzill that had been stamped with a background stamp.

 I used PaperArtsy Fresco paint.

 I used an Idea-ology decorative embellishment to add a title.

 I added some jornaling to the photos, I prefer to hand write my titles or info as it gives a more personal touch.

 Finished layouts.

 I am really pleased with the results.

Below are the steps I took to make the first layout.

Ranger Distress Ink Pads are perfect through a stencil. This stencil is by PaperArtsy. I used this design as it reminded me of rock and rock art.

I inked around the edges with Tea Dye DI pad.

I found this stamp 'trust the magic' by Finnabair and thought the message perfect as Uluru is a very spiritual place.

A felted purse with a crocheted flower of Kerry's

This tiny pot contains everything needed to make a chain mail bracelet. To make it look more like a gift I added vellum, ribbon and a crocheted flower and added a bit of sparkle too!

and finally my Christmas will be spent down under so could not resist making this postcard!
