Little Yellow Bicycle Sketch Challenge.

Liz Qualman has put a great sketch up for a challenge at Little Yellow Bicycle. I already completed it using other paper, but I hunted down some Little Yellow Bicycle paper and gave the actual challenge a go. The sketch is actually a real fun one to turn into a layout! 

 

This is Liz's sketch

 I loved using fake stitching, it really made the letters look cuddly!

As always, I wanted to distress ink, but I found with this range of paper called Zach's Life collection, all the colours defined themselves without too much help from my beloved inks. 

Here is the same sketch I completed with Grace Taylor paper:

But I am glad I chose Little Yellow Bicycle collection of Zach's Life for Drew's page. I love the distress look and the bold colours within it. As a bonus... I have enough left from the four double sheets I bought to make about four more fun layouts!

Thanks for an awesome challenge LYB! 

Liz's sketch was a surprise to me that I could use boyish paper and make it look fantastic in his album! (To be honest, I often overlook sketches with banners, as I think they may be too girly!) I'll now be re-thinking all those girly sketches I've never attempted.

Now that I know what your paper looks like, I'll be back!
