Elmer's Birthday 2012 : Me?

I think I am favored by the heavens despite being bed bound recently! I got to hop blog of Fall in to Fall by Lets Get Sketchy, and for the week's challenge - I prepared this layout based on their sketch. I used a black and red plaid ribbon that qualified me to enter it at Kaboodle Doodles Challenge!

Thus, being of a less healthy mind, I could not think much of which papers to combines, lacking imagination, I just followed the sketch... hehehehe. But to add spice to the red and black scheme of the sketch, I used a wooden stamp with writings - and for it to show, I used gesso on the rubber stamp, smearing it with my fingers for the black paper. Then the conventional black ink on red.

Filstar All About Scrapbooking has no black paper - so I used one of the pages from their black kraft album.  The stars, ribbon, and that laser cut are from All About Scrapbooking.

The layout is entered on the challenges of :

1. Lets Get Sketchy for 2012 November week 2
2. Kaboodle Doodle Challenge number 145

  2. Excellent job Gilberto! That's what I love about sketches as well, they take a lot of the guess work out of the process. Love your patterned papers! Thanks so much for joining us at Let's Get Sketchy! Hope you feel better soon!

  3. ooops, sorry Debbie P - those are not patterned papers. I used plain papers and then stamped them! Nowadays, I am finding it more enjoyable putting more effort, more time in making my pages - thus slowly using techniques / stamping. :)

  8. Great take on the sketch and how you utilized gesso for your stamp. TFS! I tried doing the same on acryclic stamp but it won't produce the result and texture I wanted. I'll try again. Thanks for the inspiration!
