A NEW SKETCH CHALLENGE AT LET'S SCRAP

This is the sketch for the week


Now those of you that know me are well aware that I am a cardmaker and scrapping is a new adventure, but these fabulous pics of my son, 21 year old son Blayne (who is a Ramones fan) just needed to be scrapped (the grungy look of the pics IS intentional:




My colour inspriation for the layout was this promo pic of the Ramones


and the addition of the eagle charm was from their badge




and I used a black and white version of the badge to make an old school vinyl record embellishment by using a round die to cut me black CS :
The red background paper was sanded to enhance the embossing o match the brick background in the original photograph above and the musical notes are metal brads.  The letters forming the title BLAYNE are peel off - originally multicoloured but I coloured them bronze to match the eagle.
