Welcome to our first post for 2025! Sketch Saturday #767 is up this morning. Here is today’s sketch and the twist is to use striped paper.
My card today is pretty close to the sketch with some additions.
My squares are a little bigger & I added the flowers, leaves & sentiment to the top.
My background paper is “striped”, just not in the traditional sense. There are columns with swirls inside as my stripes.
Also, I had a little help with this one. My husband was home when I started my card & he always has a different perspective on things.
So, where I see four base panels on a solid background, he sees a patterned background with windows cut out of the top piece.
It gives the same effect with a little dimension. So I decided to go with his vision for this card.
I hope that this inspires you to think outside the box when you start with a sketch.
Remember, you can turn it, use circles instead of squares, add dimensional items, etc.
Add your personal touch & make it yours! Also, be sure to check out all the examples over on the Sketch Saturday #767 blog post and add your card to the link at the bottom.
Three cards will be featured on the blog as the challenge winners with a badge for you to display.
I am so happy you stopped by today. I hope to have a couple of different blog posts up soon.
I am going to reveal my Word of the Year & I also want to talk about some new Creative Memories products that I am excited about.
All of that will be coming soon, so please check back in.
