I have painted chipboard cogs  & the diamond chipboard piece with metallic gold, stamped on the background over gesso that l applied first

I have used this weeks sketch over at LET'S GET SKETCHY, check out what the design team have come up with this week HERE

Lets Get Sketchy

June is almost over and l am sharing a layout at Lets Get Sketchy using lots of stamping.
You can check it out HERE at the LGS blog

Here is my layout

I have coloured some of the stamped flowers and have again used  Freckled Fawn products that we were given to use throughout our layouts this month. This time l used the wooden shapes to add another flower dimension.

I must add that my inspiration for this layout came the very talented Di Garling, she is such a talented scrapper.

Thanks for looking:)
