SKETCH CHALLENGE #5

July 15, 2021

A sketch challenge is suppose to be a place to start from. The card doesn't always come out looking just like the sketch. At least that is the way it is for me. Sometimes better and sometimes worse. A sketch challenge is to help you get started and then you can take over and make it your own.  This week I challenge you to add another layer to the sketch. That means you have to change the measurements of the layers already there or figure out the new measurements. To change one layer to go over another layer you will cut the top layer 1/8 or 1/4 inch smaller depending on how much of that layer you want to show. In my chase I cut the Basic White layer 1/8 inch smaller because I wanted just a little of the black to show.


Have fun with the challenge and send me your final result.

I used the Color & Contour Bundle and the following products


Measurements

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia, score at 5 1/2
