Scrap Africa has the new sketch up for December. For my example. I've decided to start with a blank piece of chipboard. Very unlike me to be so brave. ;)
I first covered my chipboard with a layer of gesso and once dried I've added some dimension using my 12 x 12 Prima 'Checker' mask and some texture paste. Before lifting the stencil I sprayed some Heidi Swapp Color Shine 'Seafoam' over it. I created my drips and circle 'stains' using the Lindy Stamp Gang 'Buccaneer Bronze' mist. All the paper are from the Marion Smith 'Nirvana' collection - one of my most favourite ranges ever! The photo is of my grandfather who passed away in 1985. I am planning on getting more information about his life to add to this layout.
I would love to see your take on the sketch! You have until the 14th of December to get your entries in.
That's all I have for today. Thank you so much for popping in! Have a wonderful week!
Until next time.

Oh such a beautiful heritage page. You always do them so wonderfully! Love the masculine feel and the background effects are terrific! So important to get the information documented for the next generation. So many times the details are lost in time.
This is a beautiful layout of your grandfather and I didn't realise it was Nirvana til I read it in the description! Now I love it even more! xx
Those clocks look AMAZING on this LO - they suit the photo to perfection:):):) ANd no....not ready at all. Apart from my cards.....!!!!!!!
