Welcome to my Corner of the World

The challenge this time is to create a card from a sketch, I kinda like using sketches as it gives you a start to creating. During the video I am working out how things should go and the sizes for my pieces etc.

I am also continuing with my goal to use different ideas, techniques and products that I may not have used before and to that end today I used some ephemera cutouts left from another project – I am pretty happy with how it turned out !

Although I have made this into a birthday card I think it would make a great card for Father’s Day as well as masculine and feminine birthdays. Here is my take on the sketch:

Using 11 x 81/2 Letter Size Card

• Base Card: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Secret Sea Card ~ scored @ 4 1/4
• Layer 1: 2 pieces 2 3/4 x 1 3/8 Decorative Paper
• Layer 2: 1 piece 2 3/4 x 2 1/2 Crumb Cake Card
• Strip 1: 5 3/8 x 3/8 Decorative Paper
• Strip 2: 5 13/8 x 5/8 Crumb Cake Card
• Inside Layer: 5 1/4 x 4 Vanilla Card
• Ink Color: Night of Navy

Using A4 Size Card

• Base Card: 8 1/4 x 5 3/4 Secret Sea Card ~ scored @ 4 1/8
• Layer 1: 2 pieces 2 13/16 x 1 3/8 Decorative Paper
• Layer 2: 1 piece 2 13/16 x 2 1/2 Crumb Cake Card
• Strip 1: 5 1/2 x 3/8 Decorative Paper
• Strip 2: 5 1/2 x 5/8 Crumb Cake Card
• Inside Layer: 5 5/8 x 4 Vanilla Card
• Ink Color: Night of Navy
