March Sketch Challenge| Nicole Kerr

Hello my crafty friends!
Nicole here and today I am sharing with you my interpretation for the March Sketch Challenge that we have going on until the end of the month! Team member Isa came up with this gorgeous mixed media style sketch and I knew I had to play along!

I love how Isa incorporated all of the layers AND the mixed media splatters! For my spread, I'm showing you how you can take this mixed media focused project and still use it even if you're not into the stencils, paints, etc!  For my project, I'm using the papers and embellishments from the Sedona Kit. In this kit are gorgeous papers that have a lot of mixed media already done for you! I used this sheet ad just added a few black splatters and that was all the paint I added!

My layout is about a personal journey that I have been going thru and about being on a path to find myself and where I'm supposed to be in life. There were elements in the Sedona kit that worked great for documenting this! Even though there were cactus' and embellishments that talked about being "under the stars," these were easily transformable for documenting this! I focused on those pieces that said "be free," "flourish,"  "good times ahead," and "my happy place."

I also used loads of the foam thickers, leaves and flowers from the die cut packs and even the artificial flowers in the kit to add even more dimension around my photo.

Starting papers such as this is a fantastic jumping off point for dabbling in mixed media. If you scared to start, begin with this style of paper and don't be afraid to have some fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you've been inspired!!
