Sketch Challenge

 Hey Everybody,

Today's card is one made using a sketch. Check it out here.  In doing a sketch challenge, you can change the orientation and even the shape of the images. 

I turned the sketch. Did you notice that there are two different papers used on this sketch? One is a little larger than half, and one is a little smaller than half. You could make this using your card base and adding designer series paper to make it easier, or use two pieces of designer paper.
The card base is 4 1/4" wide so half would be 2 1/8". Your designer paper could be larger or smaller than 2 1/8".
  Next, if there are three rectangles they have to be smaller than 2" wide since the paper is 5 1/2".  I took out my sizing tool to decide what size I wanted for the rectangles.  When I do this I also plan for a layer behind the white image panel for each rectangle.
This is a two-step retired Stampin' Up set.  I stamped each animal with a solid stamp which I stamped off, then a detailed image full strength ink. 
The animals have joined together to celebrate a birthday. Each has brought a present. The panels were added with dimensionals. The heart and balloon were added with dimensionals as well.
This will go to a local nursing home to be used for a grandchild's birthday.


So what stamp set would you use from your stash to make this sketch? Would you turn the sketch like I did or would you leave it as is? 
Sometimes it's fun to have the designing part of your card decided for you. All you have to figure out what stamps, paper and colors of ink to use.  What fun!

Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy creating something beautiful for someone. Then send it to them to let them know you are thinking of them. There's nothing like receiving a hand made creation from a friend or family member!
Until next time.
Blessings,
Sue
