Pressed Penny - a Stick it Down sketch

Happy Saturday!

I just finished a page, and I wanted to get it logged before I miss the deadline, as that has unfortunately happened to me before!

I used a great sketch from Stick it Down, and I really love how it turned out.


My son & husband love to find a pressed penny machine wherever we go. I had these photos of them pressing a penny at the Chattanooga Aquarium last year, and thought it was a good idea to document their little tradition. The paper theme came from me wanting to use a copper metallic accent (pennies, get it?!), and these were some of the only options in my stash! I'm glad though, b/c the color scheme is perfect, especially since Heath has decided his favorite color is blue just like his Dad.

Here's the original sketch:


I like how the sketch has us to do the journaling around the circles!


I used some Stampin' Up PearlEx for the triangle, and I think it added the perfect amount of copper to finish off the page.


I love the background paper too, it says Father in many languages.


Supplies:
Blue and copper papers - Tags and More Stack from DCWV
Background paper, Vellum and copper round tags - Studio Calico
Blue purple and gray paper - the Paper Studio
Triangle Stamp - Heidi Swapp

Thanks for looking!
