Let's Get Sketchy - AHSC #479

 Happy Monday!!!

 I've missed a few challenges lately but I'm ready to rock & roll - or maybe I'm a little bit country??



Michelle's sketch is so fun with lots of elements to get you thinking....



I chose patterned papers from Camp Happy Bear (?) paper collection as both the background & for the various circles.  The sentiment is one of the cut apart pages - no need to stamp.  

Image is High Hopes, stamped in Wicked Black ink (Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps) and coloured with Copic markers.  I've popped up with foam tape various pieces for added dimension and added a few enamel dots.  

Now it's your turn to play along & link up your project here.

Enjoy,

Jennifer

Tone on tone stamping on border pieces, along with the film strip really highlight otherwise missed pieces of the layout.  The stamps from Kraftin Kimmie are a dream to stamp & easy to line up for oversize borders!
