Sketchy Thursdays March GDT member challenge

Title: Adam, Happy Birthday !!!

This page is made for the Sketchy Thursdays March GDT member challenge. This is the first time I'm taking part in this challenge, and was able to get it submitted just before the due date.

The promp was to use the above featured sketch.

In addition to using the sketch above, we also had to follow these guidelines:

♥ Pink & Green or Red & Turquoise: (on my layout, there's plenty of both of these color combinations, but the predominant combination is red & turquoise).

♥ Hearts: (There's a metal enamel heart on the cupcake cherry detail).

♥ A list about something/someone you love: ( I added a 'to do' list for the cake-loving party boy in bullet points: *eat cake, *Party!, *Make a wish).

About my interpretation of the sketch:

You can see that the foundation of my sketch borrowed quite a few design elements from the inspiration sketch:

• I started with 2 pieces of patterned paper cut 9" x 9," and angled them just like in the sketch.
• I loved the banner flags idea, however it seemed a bit cramped when attempting to place them below as in the sketch. My solution was to move them up to the top of the page. (*side note: the flags were hand-made by me, by stamping a large text background stamp onto muslin with StazOn ink. Then I cut them up into triangles with a rotary cutter and metal ruler).
• As in the sketch, I designated the same space for photos: One main 4" x 6" focal photo, and instead of a second smaller photo, I substituted a distressed metal square that served as a perfect backdrop for the title. The white, ornate metal square looks like icing on the cake, and ties in with the theme of this page.
• My banner flags seemed to lack contrast, so to make them pop just as in the sketch, I outlined them with Kuretake ZIG Millennium pen; I also outlined the border of the foundation paper, in a faux stitching look that I was going after.

Thanks for visiting me!

Šis skrebukas yra pagamintas Sketchy Thursdays eskizų užduočių saitui. Tai mano pirmas kartas dlyvaujant pas juos. Pastebėjau kad šis saitas labai aktyvus, ir liekant keliom dienom iki šios užduoties termino, sugebėjau sumesti šį skrebuką šio ryto miego sąskaita :)

Technika: 

• Vėliavėlių girlianda nelabai tiko apatinėj skrebuko daly (kadangi pas mane labiau apkrauta detalėm tenai negu eskizas), tai nusprendžiau vėliavėles perkelti aukščiau. Pačios vėliavėlės štampuotos ant audinio su didelio teksto štampu ir StazOn permanentiniu rašalu. Po to, sukarpius vėliavėles, jas priklijavau spec. audiniam skirtais klijais.
• Vėlevėlės nelabai atšoko nuo pagrindo, tad sprendimas - apvedžiojau zig-zago raštu su Kuretake ZIG Millennium rašikliu aplink kiekvieną, ir taip pat pripaišiau kontūrus aplink pagrindą. Suteikia vaizdą kad lyg su siuvimo mašina apsiųta.
• Balto lapo kraštai sendinti su žaliu Distress rašalu varojant tą 'blending tool' įrankį/kotą su kempine. Toks metodas garantuoja minkštą rašalo sendinimą. Ant šio pačio lapo kairėj, taip pat papildomai papuošiau popieriuką su nutrinamais rub-ons.

Ačiū už dėmesį ;) Kas neaišku drąsiai klauskite...Nors ir viskas aišku, komentarai visad labai laukiami!
