Super Sketch

This weeks sketch at Lets Get Sketchy is one of my faves. It doesnt even have butterflies or flowers on it. Imagine that!
I have seen layouts with the Sunburst before & have thought about doing one but never really looked into how you make them. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to make one.
I really like how it turned out for this photo. I had 3 photos in mind for this sketch but this one definitely works especially since it is also a layout for About a Boy challenge.
Their challenge is to make a layout that is about a typical boy. What boy doesnt like to dress up like a Superhero. There are 2 reasons why I added Spongebob to this layout. #1- I didnt have much of this shade of yellow paper. #2- There is an episode of Spongebob where it shows Patrick & Spongebob's favorite Superheros. They even dress up like them.
Here is their sketch & my take on it.


Supplies

Red, White & Blue Cardstock
Carolee's Creations Ting a Ling Dry Brushed Periwinkle Patterned Paper
Sandy Lion Spongebob Patterned Paper
6x6 Paper Pad
The Paper Studio Textured Cardstock  Borders

EK Success Border Punch
Pink Paislee Artisan Chipboard Star
DIY White Foam Thickers 
Red & Blue Twine
Yellow Liquid Glitter 
Tattered Angels Red Velvet Glimmer Mist

Tim Holtz
Barn Door Distress Ink
Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink
Salty Ocean Distress Ink
Fired Brick Distress Stickles
Broken China Distress Stickles

I would like to Thank my Peeps at Club CK for tips & instructions on how to make the Sunburst background. It was very helpful. I pretty much followed the instructions at SG but just measured out my own size rays.I even added the twine between the rays. I used Tacky tape to hold the twine in place.
I inked the Thickers with the Distress Ink first & didnt quite like the results so I added the stickles. I was lucky enough to have just the right colors. I also added some stickles to the star after I inked it with Tattered Angels. I had to use a paintbrush because the sprayer clogged up.
I hope everyone has a Great rest of the week!
Happy Scrappin!

  20. Great job on the sunburst! I took a pencil and ruler and just drew lines on the back of my paper. I love how you added the twine between the sunburst! I also did that to help with dimension, but love how you used diff colors. Thanks for playing at LGS!

  21. Great LO! I like the sunburst behind the photos and the Spongebob/SP paper keeps it from being too serious! (As if the cute photo with the undies over the pjs didn't do that already! lol )
    Thanks for sharing! :)
