Sketch Frenzy Friday… July 23, 2010

Jul 23rd, 2010 Posted in All Occasion cards, Challenges, SKETCH FRENZY, Specialty Classes | 7 comments »

Another week gone and another week closer to Christmas!!

Here’s this weeks sketch:

SFF07232010

I chose to put all images and the sentiment separate…..that’s what happens when your “sketch” diagram is on the computer in another room, and you have scribbled it onto a piece of paper to take out to your stamp room.. I’m sure NONE of you EVER do that?? yeah..right!!  Anyway, I wanted to stay simple and not do a lot of distressing. But I ended up making two different versions. I couldn’t get my little squares so little. I used the 1 1/4″ and 1 3/8″ square punches, and the little scallop square punch for all the images.  Which one do you like better?? Card A, or Card B?  Leave me a comment as to your favorite.

You might notice I didn’t use designer paper for this one. I try to do a lot of stamping for the background so I can show my stampers how you can use your stamps and get the most use out of them. Years ago, we didn’t have matching papers and stamps. So this is a good way to create your own paper!

Card "A"

Here’s my second version. I was trying to get a knot or bow, or something.. like the sketch showed. Sometimes I take the sketch “literally”, and sometimes I just use it as a basic guide, then go out of the box and make it my own. Hope you enjoy both of them.
