Time for another sketch. I really enjoyed this one and hope you do too!
I was in the mood for some fun, bright colours, so here's my card. It's a congratulations card for a recent graduate. I always enjoy using stars on grad cards.
Some dimensions for you:
- Card Base: Standard 4-1/4x5-1/2
- Larger Strip: 5-1/2x2-5/8
- Sentiment layer: 5-1/2x3-1/2
- Other layer: 5-1/2x2
I also have a surprise for you. That's right, it's the latest batch of PDFs! Go HERE to download it! It contains sketches 128 through 146. Enjoy!
I think the card is pretty straight forward. One thing I did, to extend the usability of the Star Prints set, was to use a smaller star punch on the larger images. Technically, you could do this with any background or pattern image.
Supplies:
Stamps: Star Prints, Polka Dot Basics I, Signature Greetings
Paper: Cool Caribbean, Spring Moss, Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, White
Ink:Bermuda Bay, Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories, etc: small star punch, pop dots, mat pack and paper piercer
As always, if you play along, feel free to leave a link to your post!
