Sketch For You To Try Saturday…

Posted by Jen | Verve, cards, challenges, designer of the month | Saturday, May 23, 2009

LOCALS: As most you know, Tina is closing Imprints next month. The entire store is now 40% off and she is auctioning off the fixtures. Happy shopping!

Hooray, it’s another Sketch For You To Try Saturday. I hope I didn’t scare you away with last week’s sketch! This week’s is pretty straight forward. I think I might even mass produce the card that I created. I was so tired yesterday afternoon and I just wanted to get a quick and easy card done. Turns out that it’s a quick and easy one that I really like!…that never happens! I hope that this long weekend lets up find a little extra stamping time and you give this one a shot…

The sketch…

What does the checkered panel mean? In a nutshell…do something different here. What you want to define as “different” is up to you. I see people use punched edges and it never occurs to me to do that, so that’s what I decided to give a whirl. Not bad! ;)

Here’s my card using the sentiment from Verve’s Wishful Elegance…

Julie {May’s Designer of the Month!} created this cutie patootie card…

    Wow! What a fun sketch! I loved making this card — that little special effect of a border punch really made a difference. I’m sure I’ll use this sketch again and again!

    I’m not sure I want to share my card…don’t look too close at coloring and circle cutting:)
