Hello! It’s time for a sketch challenge again over at CAS Colours & Sketches. We have a pretty interesting one for you this time! You’re welcome to manipulate the sketch, so long as we can still easily recognize the main elements.
The sketch was drawn up for a square card. Since I prefer to make A2 sized rectangular cards, rather than trying to stretch the sketch out into a rectangle, I just put the square element on a rectangular card base. Even though I think it’s a really neat sketch, I had a difficult time deciding what I wanted to do with it. I thought about using butterflies or flowers or even ice cream cones for the triangular elements of the sketch, but nothing seemed “right”, so in the end I just stayed very true to the sketch and used triangles of designer paper. It was a nice way to use up some scraps I had! I have to admit it’s not one of my most favorite cards – it seems too flat, like it’s lacking something. But it’s definitely not one of my worst cards either, so I’m OK with it. It will be a good addition to the stockpile I’m building for Operation Write Home.
Be sure to check out what the rest of the CC&S Design Team has done with this sketch – they’ve made some amazing cards! Then give it a try yourself. You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Wednesday, April 29 to link your card at the challenge site. Thanks for stopping by today!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Seems I was not the only one a bit stumped by this sketch then. Great idea to use patterned paper and I like how you’ve used the square matted onto a rectangular card.
