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
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic Black
Cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 (NOTICE THE MEASUREMENTS? 1/8") Whisper White

Cut 1 x 5 1/2 Basic Black and use the die to cut, I used the scallop die and on the 2nd card I used the largest rectangle from the dies and just cut one edge

Scraps of Basic White for the flowers and greeting which was cut with the smallest rectangle die

I’m thrilled to share how I created a simple yet stunning sympathy card using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper and the Prairie Grass Stamp Set. The delicate patterns from the Designer Series Paper perfectly complemented the graceful prairie grass images, giving the card an elegant touch during such a heartfelt time. Personalizing it with heartfelt sentiments made it all the more special. If you’re looking to create something meaningful, this combination is sure to inspire! Below are a few more images showing other papers from the same pack

Some days these blog posts go so smooth I think I can do them in my sleep, other days everything goes crazy! This was one of those days. It's finally done! This card was CASED from Rachel Tessman with the change of several things. Of course that is allowed in the stamping world. We take each other's ideas and change them to our own liking and republish them. There are so many ideas out there to share. This is another one of the cards that I did with my clubs this month. It looks complicated but it really isn't and comes out to be a fun card to give. Be sure to watch the video if you are making the card. I will give you some trips on how to make it come out beautiful and download the FREE Project Sheet Below.
