The Tux Layout

One of the MANY wedding challenges this month at Sisterhood of Scrap was The Tux.  You were to use only black and white, however the photo could have been a colored photo but I choose to use a black and white of my daughter. 

I also really liked this sketch from Pagemaps (did I mention before how much I LOVE there sketches).  So needless to say I combined the two. 



I had recently won the Jenni Bowlin Corédinations Everyday Collection but I can say I was somewhat intimated by the collection.  It is BEAUTIFUL and I'm ashamed to say I have never used Corédinations Cardstock. 

I had everything picked out for probably two weeks and finally gave it a go.  I sanded, I tore, I distressed, I used Black Soot Distress Ink and I'm happy with the outcome.  I totally enjoyed using the Corédinations Cardstock and I can see me using it several more times. 

As you can see I didn't follow the sketch exactly and I choose to use I big photo rather than four little photos.
