Hello Lovelies
It's Stick It Down time again and the sketch this month is by Antonia. Head on over to the Stick It Down Blog to add your own project!
I loved the diagonal details on the sketch, but my style is pretty heavy on paper!
Sara Scraps came to my rescue when she shared this layout of her son and I thought I could apply the general idea to the sketch. She even dared me to keep it clean and simple! 😂😂😂
Now I'm not a girl to resist a dare, but even I know when something is a lost cause! 🙈🙈🙈
I started by going though my camera roll for a pair of photos and a story. Facebook memories helped by reminding me it's been 3 years since this even for JDM car enthusiasts and while the story probably is more recent, it doesn't make a huge difference to album chronology.
Having figured out my story, I had to include black and a very specific shade of blue. I ended up pulling mostly papers from Shimelle's Sparkle City collection with a background from Glitter Girl. the black paper with neon signs had me thinking of drifting so the one from the paper pad with the holographic was a great place to start! The ombre background paper reminded me of the duochrome paint finish on some cars.
It was going to be a bit busy so I toned it down with gesso and added paint and mist splatters. I even had some prehistoric Flutterbies from American Crafts. Hands up who still has those? Bunting kind of goes with an even like this and the one I used which was meant to co-ordinate with Dear Lizzy's 5th and Frolic collection is a great colour match for the black neon sign paper!
I also used some Simple Stories Bro and Co for the stamp set, stickers and die cuts.
Title
Chipboard and foam thickers for the title - Micro Glue Dots make the chipboard ones a breeze to adhere! (Thanks Columbus Trading❤️)
Embellies
In addition to some stamps for the diagonal embellies, I also used some clear and cardstock stickers and random car themed die cuts and stickers.
