Red Rain Coat

Sketch #69 is up over at Creative Scrappers! I had so much fun with this sketch and ventured completely out of my comfort zone. Normally I am drawn to much more muted colours but I simply HAD to play up the red in this layout...

My dd in her new red raincoat - she was SO proud of herself in a big girl jacket!

Close up of some stitching and red stickles. I cut out the Hugs & Kisses from a ribbon and used as tags.

Here I wove the ribbon through the gaps in the burlap.

I popped the buttons on the raincoat by using real buttons - kind of a neat effect...

The glitter letters were from the dollar store - I mounted on the back of the Cosmo Cricket paper and outlined with a white journaling pen.

Materials Used:

Alpha Letters: Dollar Store
Cardstock, Red
Patterned Paper: My Sweet Cherry Pie, Cherries on Top (Nikki Sivils)
Patterned Paper: Ribbon Sandwich (Cosmo Cricket)
Burlap
Ribbon
