Kim's card sketch this week on Freshly Made Sketches #735 may leave your knees clacking together, but don't be afraid it's actually a great sketch to play with.
As much as I don't like working with square cards, I enjoyed making this one.
Before cutting my designer paper, I used photocopy paper to cut out a template to make sure my measurements worked. Here's my take on the sketch:
Supplies and Instructions
Stamps and Dies:
- Best Catch SU#148598 - "Its Your Day"
- Match Day Dies and Stamps
Cardstock and Designer Paper (DSP):
- Basic White 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" scored at 5" for card base
- Scrap Basic White for sentiment and circle for soccer ball
- Basic Black 4 3/8" x 5 1/8" for matte and scrap for soccer ball
- Basic Black Cut four 1" squares for card design cut one square in half
- A Wonderful Match DSP #167515 - cut 3 granny green 1" squares and 3 and a half squares with soccer ball design
- Silver scrap for trophy
When you look at my measurements you will note that I didn't make a square card. It didn't look right and so I cut down the white margin on the right hand side. The finished card actually measures 4 5/8" x 5 1/2". It will require a custom made envelope but that's easy to do with my envelope maker.
Ink and Blends:
- Momento Tuxedo Black
Accessories:
- Dimensionals
- Basic D hatch marked embossing folder for the White last matte on the card front. It helped to tie it all together.
Thanks for visiting my blog today, and if you left a comment on my submission to Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge thanks so much! Getting validation from fellow card makers and paper crafters is like adding jet fuel to an airplane...........it keeps you soaring! Cheers until next time..........
HAPPY STAMPING!
