Saturday Sketch #9

Here's another sketch card for you to try - a quick and easy card that you can make using almost any pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP.)

I used the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which was February's Product of the Month. This paper is still available at the time I am writing this post - but it is only available while supplies last.

I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut out a section from a piece of the patterened paper. Then I cut a slightly large mat to place behind the die cut piece. I adhered it to the card front using dimensionals, and then I place it so it is lined it up with the bottom piece.

Unfortunately, this die set is on the last chance list at the time I am writing this post - so they could be sold out by the time I post this. If they are still available - they are a great set to have, and they are also discounted 20%.

For the sentiment piece, I used the Three Banner Punch, but I put the strip of white card stock into the punch from the back - and only punched one end at a time. This allowed me to make a longer sentiment piece.

Below is the sketch and completed card.

Measurements to make this card (inches):

Pretty Peacock card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4
largest Designer Series Paper layer: 4 x 5-1/4
Pretty Peacock card stock mat: 3-1/2 x 2
smaller DSP layer: 3-1/4 x 1-3/4 (I used the Textured Notes dies, which are on the last chance list at the time of writing this post.)
Basic White strip for sentiment: 1/2 x 3-1/2

This is another quick and easy card - I hope you will give it a try!
