On your marks, GET SET

Playing along with this week's Elle's sketch.

As soon as I saw the sketch I knew I was going to pull out one of my new The Crafter's Workshop stencils, Layered Beads.  The circles graduate from the center of the stencil, so I lined it up a little lower on the page and used my sponge dauber to add color to three of the rows.  Then I turned it around, centering it over the first set of circles and repeated.  The effect is that the top and bottom rows have a smaller circle inside.



Three quarter inch circles from Glitz's Yours Truly 6x6 pad were added to the circles to add some color and emphasize the graduated look.

Glitz papers mat the photo as well as create the large pennant that the small Elle's Studio pennants sit on.  I added some MME enamel dots at the top of the Elle's pennants, I think they tie in the circle theme from the bottom of the page.



Since the photo is slightly off center, I thought it would be great to add the journaling on vellum over top of the photo.  A great trick - just put the vellum over lined paper when journaling so that it comes out straight/even.



The alphas are CTMH's canvas alphas inked with Outdoor Denim.

Hope your week is going smoothly!
