SOUS Sketch Reveal

Welcome to my blog today.

 

It is the first sketch reveal of 2013 from

Stuck On U Sketches

and I have a really special page

 to reveal today.

 

Tracey Kelly, Annette Gearside

 and I.

Friends and fellow DT members of

Stuck On U Sketches.

 

Tracey and Annette both live in

Brisbane, Australia, and my husband

works in Brisbane Australia,

 so I visit there from Scotland regularly

 (next trip is in February!).

 

This photo was taken on

my first trip to Brissie

in August last year (last year!!).

 

Tracey and I have known

 each other for a long time,

but it was the first time we had

 both met Annette,

and what a lovely lady she is!

 

When I gave them a copy

of the photograph each,

when I was over in November,

we came up with the idea that

 we all use the same photo

 for one of the sketches.

 

So, the same sketch,

the same photo,

 three different layouts....

 

The Sketch, by Nanne

Papers used are

 "Postcards from Paris" by Webster's Pages.

 

 The gorgeous chippie lamp

 is from Dusty Attic,

which I have inked with

 "Lapislazuli" from VersaColor

and then lightly distressed

with dry paint in white.

I then wrapped some leafy trim

around it.

 

Inside the lamp I placed a wee bit

of the paper with the image of

 the peacock and then drenched

it with Dimensional Magic

for the glazed effect.

Some fussy cutting to take the

flowers from the paper off the

edges and some wee roses

from my (huge) stash of flowers.

Martha Stewart Punch Around The Page

 "Layered Arches"

Closer detail of the glaze on the lamp.

Some gorgeous Prima flowers

 "Regia Smoke" and "Gillian White"

and Petaloo "Fabric Flowers"

and some white feathers tucked in behind.

Around the photo I have placed

some Sullivan's Regal Trim

and a Sizzix die for a few leaves

Some Kaiser bling "Split Pea"

adorning the flowers in the paper.

Totally happy with this layout.

So, now you need to head over to

 Stuck On U Sketches

and see what the other girls have

 done with the sketch and see

what Tracey and Annette have

done with the same photograph as me

- too cute.

 

See you over there,

and hopefully you will have a chance

to join in the challenge

and we can come over to

your blog and leave some bloggy love.

 

Til then

 

Hugs
