Shopping Our Stash # 451 - Let's Get Sketchy!



This week at Shopping Our Stash, we are working with SKETCHES.  But not inspirational sketches, prescriptive sketches.  This is not my cup of tea but I tried.  I realize this means disqualification but I don't make 6"x4" cards.  Lately I have attempted a few mini slimline cards but my preference is A2.  I have a print shop precut every ream of Neenah that arrives at my house. So I modified the sketch to fit.

I made a new home card with sketch #3.  I covered the card base with an atlas page of the area where my friends are moving.  Die cut an 1/8" strip for the right hand border. Stamped and Copic-colored an image from Inky Antics (Packed Box) and a sentiment from Rubber Moon on scrap cardstock.  The scrap was trimmed to as close to 2x2" as possible, and backed with a piece of colored cardstock.

Thanks.

I don't make 6 X 4 cards often either, I haven't even made a mini slimline. In a sketch challenge I think as long ans you see the sketch all is good. And this is fantastic!!! What a great idea to use the map of where your friends are moving they will LOVE it. Thanks for getting Sketchy with us at Shopping Our Stash.
