The first challenge of the month with the Counterfeit Kit Challenge Blog is to use a multi-photo sketch from Pretty Little Studio. I've used it with my April Counterfeit Kit to make a start on my photos from Las Vegas, documenting my experiences in the casinos.
The sketch called for 3 portrait photos and a journalling block on 4 pennants, but I had a series of 3 landscape pictures to scrap. They would have needed to be printed very small to fit within the width of the pennants, so I rotated the sketch through 90° to accommodate larger prints. I also switched the journalling and the title as I had a lot to say!!
Extra pennants cut from vintage book pages, edged with an EK Success border punch, added some dimension and I topped off the page with a souvenir dollar token donated by my slightly luckier friend Jacqui!
Hmmm - not that close to the original sketch now - which is just how I like it!!
Sketches are all about the starting points, and I like where you ended up with this one. Love all that layering.
ReplyDeleteI love this interpretation - you have given yourself plenty of room for the story and you have some great banner action going on there too. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI really love what you did with this sketch! It turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThe rotation worked really well for your pics Jemma...love the layered banners!
