Trimcraft Christmas 2015 First Edition Gilded Winter: Be Merry Layout and Sketch

Hi all

I am going to start introducing more scrapbook layouts on to the blog as i used to do before life got crazy. I will also be introducing matching sketches to accompany some of my layouts as well.

I used the Me to You Christmas pad from last year for the background and the 8x8 Gilded Winter pad for the layers. The Gilded Winter pads are being relaunched for this year which i am happy about as i loved them last year but they sold out so fast i never got hold of the 12x12 pad.

Here is my first sketch i am sharing which i hope will inspire you to have a go at scrapbooking. I hope to share a new one every month.

I used the First Edition markers to draw around a stencil and colour it in. These are really good markers that give an even and smooth coat of colour.

I cut the gold foil floral shape out of the patterned paper from the 8x8 Gilded Winter pad. I then painted one of the plant markers from the Forget me not range with DecoArt crackle paint and stamped snowflakes onto it.

I used the First Edition Markers purple set to colour in a wooden embellishment which i used for the title.

Thank you for visiting and if you make anything with the sketch please leave a link to your blog or gallery in the comments and i shall visit and leave some love xx
