Nuts About Sketches - Week 347

Another week has flown past.... in this last week:
- Aaron had prizegiving at school and finished Grade 7... that's it now with primary school.  Onwards to highschool now and a whole new adventure.
- we've had to replace our fridge... last one died a slow death.
- we've had load shedding of note and been without power for hours on end - four days in a row (thankfully all during the day this time round!)

BUT none of that has stopped me from scrapping.... yip been able to carry on and get a few pages done, including this one for today:

I am super chuffed with this page... I used two different vellums on it, did some ripping, embossing, some splattering, even sewed and played with ink to change my letters from baby pink to brown.

To change my letters, I started just rubbing an inkpad over the letters but it didn't do the job very well. So then I found some spritz in brown and just sprayed them till they were the right colour.  Of course being slightly glossy the spriz didn't adhere too well and I ended up with spots... but you know what, I actually quite like that as it gave me a funky effect that I was trying for.  To end off once they were dry, I applied dimensional glaze to them.  I tried cracking it, but didn't make any difference.  I have seen that Tim Holtz now has a crackle dimension glaze on the market, so think I might get me a bottle and redo my letters at some stage.... but for now I am truly happy with them.

 This is the sketch that we got to play with this week:
