Sketches with a twist ...

I have to admit the sketch over on Sketches with a Twist (and the added criteria) was an extremely challenging one this month.  It took me quite a while to come up with a suitable theme to use for the sketch.

Use Heat or Dry Embossing on your layout .....

 

 

Eventually I decided on using up some very old chipboard embellishments from a Cosmo Cricket range.  I've had these little guys in my stash for what seems like forever but kept coming back to them thinking I'll use them in some way at some time.  Then I found this little photo tucked away in my yet to scrap stash and a twinkling of an idea came together.

 

 

I hand stitched the "scroll" and added in a gold heat embossed stamped image (cut in half) which actually matches in well with the toaster, toast and coffee colours.

 

This challenge really challenged me but I'm pleased with the end results.
