I have to admit, first I tried misting through the mest, but hated the color combo with the photos I wanted to use, so I ripped that apart and opted to use the mesh itself. It is from an onion bag, in case you don't recognize it.
I inked my chipboard letters to give them the brown color with Walnut Stain distress ink, and the orange alphas are DIY thickers with embossing powder. If you are going to emboss DIY thickers, be ready for the fact that they shrink a bit. I think I lost about 1/4 of the size, and they started to curl as well, so you just have to be light and easy with the heat gun on them.
I used Tattered Angels and acrylic paint on the butterfly, and added some twine. I also added the third photo to this sketch in an oval. The papers are from MME paisley stack.
I love how you turned the sketch to create this sweet layout. The pops of colour with your more neutral tonings work wonderfully together. Thanks so much for joining us at Sketches with a Twist this month.

Victoria, I think your layout is beautiful! Covering one whole side of the page with mesh was a great idea. And everything you used just works together so well. Thanks very much for joining Sketches With a Twist for our April challenge. :-)
