Authentique February Sketch Challenge and an Extra Card

I have absolutely fallen head over heels in love with Authentique Papers. The richness, the strength and the color palettes are exactly me. Today I wanted to share with you a layout I created using the Gathering Collection. The rich oranges, teals and browns are beyond fantastic and can be used for both feminine and masculine projects.

I paired the Gathering collection up with my favorite Helmar Adhesives. For dimension I used both Zapdots and Liquid Scrapdots and for the papers themselves, I used Helmar Premium Craft Glue. There is a lot of distressing on the layout and a few Star Trinket pins from Maya Road as well. If you are wondering where to get that amazing copper ribbon, you can get it HERE.

Here is my take on this great sketch from Authentique...


Now I was so inspired, that I thought I'd create a card with this lovely collection as well. I added a Prima twig and a few bobbles including a beautiful Dragonfly from FabScraps.







Thank you so much for stopping by today. If you've got some Authentique papers in your collection, try your luck at the layout sketch or card sketch.

Until next time
Toodles
