Thursday Sketch with Melanie and Sasha

Hello OA fans! Melanie here today with a new sketch challenge!!! This sketch was inspired by one of my favorite design element right now, photo corners. I decided to make the photo corners the focus of the sketch, I hope you will be inspired to play along. 

As you can see I used certain element from my sketch, as I rarely follow sketch down to the exact last detail. I incorporated one large photo corner and a small one. I flipped the design of the sketch and replaced one of the pictures with a diecut pattern paper. I also replaced the swiss cross with stars, it was a better fit for the theme of my layout. To create this page I used the Eggnog collection, along with the Daily Flash roller stamp in Inspiration,  Daily Flash Stars and Hearts, Daily Flash Night Owl chipboard numbers and Daily Flash Strawberry Ice Cream alpha stickers. 

 

Playing along today with me is Sasha, I just love her beautiful work and I know you will be blown away by her take on my sketch!

When Melanie first showed me the sketch, my eyes zoomed straight for the triangles. I knew then that I wanted to create something based on the angles. I thought about it for a while and decided to go bold and cut apart the white cardstock to show bits of the Science Patterned Paper underneath it. The strong black background and angled white cardstock made a very interesting background for my layout. I layered some chipboard pieces and stamped labels to create the perfect placement for the 'yummy' Mason Jar letter stickers. 

 

I absolutely adore the Strawberry Ice Cream chipboard alphas - how perfect are those for a food layout? :) There are scattered + symbols on the sketch and I mimicked that by stamping and some adding some mist splatters. Thank you so much for this awesome sketch, Melanie!

 

I hope you play along with Sasha and I.  We would love to see what you come up with using this sketch.  Share what you make with us in the OA Flickr Gallery.  You can also share with us on Instagram. Use the hashtag #octoberafternoon tag so we can see your beautiful work!
