{edited 08/05/10: Sorry folks, I had to remove this photo as the layout has been requested for publication! I'm so excited!}
I promised earlier in the week that I would post the layout I was working on based on my sketch. Today, I finally got my pictures back from the developer - so here it is. {Honestly, I have never ever had such a difficult time uploading/sending pics over the web. Very frustrating.}
I used the Close To My Heart Game On Level 2 paper packet and added the Yellow accent pieces to coordinate with the team jerseys. That is actually one of my favourite things about this paper combo - that it is so neutral, yet still really interesting, the patterns have lots of visual texture, and they can coordinate with practically anything other colour you could imagine.
I used an emboss resist technique on the Dimensional Elements letters to give them the black/white look. This is super easy; just ink a stamp with Versamark and stamp the desired element, sprinkle with clear embossing power and heat. Once the powder is all melted and the piece cool, take a sponge dauber and apply ink over top. The ink will 'resist' colouring the areas that are covered with the embossed image. Wipe with a tissue to remove any extra ink that's hanging around and your'e done.
Here's a closeup so you can hopefully see better how this turned out.
Remember, my Sketch Challenge is ongoing until June 15th and I can't wait to see your take on my design.
