Some Odd Girl Take Two



I wanted to try the Some Odd Girl Sketch the right way round, so I flipped Shy Fairy vertically and went in search of some new inspiration. First I found 4 Crafty Chicks inspiration photo and immediately thought of Mel Stampz tutorial on making your own patterned paper. I dropped the colours into her chevron overlay and set about choosing matching Promarkers. The Patterned paper is very busy and I wasn't sure what I could use with it to keep to the sketch, until I remembered A Blog Named Hero challenged us to use vellum, which I embossed with the HA/Sizzix Dot Swirl. Then with Shy Fairy masked I white embossed a swirling sky using Hero Arts Magical Background coloured with distress inks. Next my Paper Smooches sentiment on the banner and I set about making my embellishments: 1. Diecut glittered letters for the birthday girl's name, 2. White embossed swirly star with her age and 3. Sequins (less making for these and more finding them in my big mixed bag).
