I used the sketch and stretched things to turn it into my beloved double pages. Most of the sketch is visible on the right of my layout and it pretty much took on it's own life from there on.

i used a stencil with some texture paste on the background and lightly inked it using gold Mr Huey inks to add some colour. i also made some marble circles to add more colour and pattern

some delicate cut-outs from patterned paper repeating the colours throughout the layout

fabric strips and stickers used in the perfect colour combination.

 here are some of the fabulous prizes up for grab if you play along with us

now it's time to head on over to Emmy's blog and see what she did with the sketch
