Here is my layout and the sketch. Apologies for the uneven edges here - the watercolor warped the paper a bit and made it impossible to get a good square shot. C'est la vie. CLICK HERE to see the rest of the design team's amazing reveal.
And some close-ups. I started out with a watercolor like background made from 4 shades of blue gelato. I used a piece of scrap mixed media paper to mix my watercolors before brushing them on, so then I stamped this fun anchor onto the scrap paper I had used to mix my colors, and fussy cut it out.
Lots of layers here - mostly papers from Basic Grey's Capture line, although the red and white chipboard is a frame from Recollections that I cut up and used pieces of.
I pulled in some Creative Embellishment chipboard circles, but left them unaltered because I thought the natural colors complimented the color scheme of the layout. More layers and a Basic Grey chipboard frame as well. The little nautical string of circles is Studio Calico - Boardwalk line maybe? It is leftover from a summer 2013 Citrus Twist Kit.
Loving these kraft colored Thickers from my June Citrus Twist Kit.
Another bit of vellum ephemera from Studio Calico, secured with a straight pin. The "Next Adventure" chipboard sticker is Heidi Swapp. My journaling, that talks about the bridge to Cape Cod, our favorite summer vacation spot.
I hope you are inspired to play along with us at Sketchabilities. Remember, you have 2 weeks to link up your creation. Happy scrapping!

Shawna
