Welcome to my Corner of the World

Today I am sharing a card as part of a challenge. The inspiration is a card sketch, which is always very handy if you are struggling for a starting point in your card creations. I have kept the card very simple just using Stamps, Ink and Paper with a little ribbon and some embellishments. The only piece of equipment is my paper trimmer/scorer, so you could make it with the minimum of supplies by checking out the video below.

Here is the sketch we have for inspiration:

Here is my take:

• Base Card: 8 1/4 x 5 3/4 Summer Splash Card ~ scored @ 4 1/8
• Layer 1: 5 5/8 x 4 Basic White Card
• Black Squares: 6 pieces 1 3/8 x 1 3/8
• Greeny Blue Squares: 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 Summer Splash Card
• White Squares: 1 1/8 x 11/8 White Card
• Inside Layer: 5 5/8 x 4 Basic White Card
• Ink Color: Nocturne Black

You can use the same measurements for the layering squares even if you are using a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base you will just need to work out the placement so it looks balanced.

Check out the video to see how everything goes together
