STUCK ON U SKETCHES DESIGN TEAM REVEAL - Jan 30th Sketch - You are such a blessing to me




Hi everyone and Welcome to my blog and the latest
STUCK ON U SKETCHS DESIGN TEAM REVEAL
xxx

This is a fabulous sketch by our lovely Leah, I hope you have a go.
Below is a simple step by step, also a colour wheel link to help  you with putting colour together.

You may think that my colour choice for this layout is a little strange, but I wanted to use burgundy from Jessies jacket. I always like to use the photo for my colour inspiration. I also wanted to use blue to hi-lite Jessies blue eyes. Plus, I wanted to use a colour to make the page pop a little. So, I took out my colour wheel and decided upon a Triadic colour scheme. This is where three colours sit an equal distance from each other on the wheel. I checked blue and burgundy and found that yellow was the perfect fit.
 
HERES HOW
Matt photo,(I used a spellbinders rectangle) onto blue cardstock
Cut out an 11 inch square from cardstock (burgundy)
Matt onto a 12x12 inch card (blue)
Layer up as per the sketch
