Have you gotten all your Christmas and Holiday cards made and sent? If you do, you're way ahead of me! If you are still working on them and are stuck for ideas, or are already preparing for upcoming events (birthdays, valentines day, weddings, etc.), sketches are a great way to boost your ideas and creativity.
This weeks Saturday Sketch Challenge (#740) is a fun and easy one to knock out. The bonus challenge is to make a second card with a mirror image. These cards would be great for mass card batches if you have beautiful papers or ribbons to add to the front. I decided to do two orientations (kinda sorta mirrored, lol) using a similar color scheme.
I had fun using some embossing folders on these. The diagonal striped one was so perfect, I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to have it in my stash! I will give you a little hint...rather than using individual papers or ribbons (which you could totally do), I used striped pattern papers for my diagonal images! It was so quick and easy, I can't wait to make more! This sketch will definitely go in my "go to" sketch bin. Here is a closer look at the cards including the inside layout, along with the sketch I followed.
Til next time,
