CAS Colours & Sketches #376

Hello!  Today starts sketch challenge week at CAS Colours & Sketches and YoonYoung has drawn up a very nice clean and simple one for us!

When I first saw the sketch, I pictured an opportunity to weave strips of cardstock or patterned paper for the horizontal and vertical blocks.  I’ve tried weaving cardstock strips in the past and knew that the thickness of cardstock can be hard to manipulate sometimes.  So when it came to actually sitting down and making today’s card, time and patience wore me down to using just two strips of designer paper for each block to accomplish the woven look.  A white card base seemed to contrast too starkly with the designer papers, so I chose cardstock that complemented the colors in the patterns.  I’ve flipped the sketch mirror image just to give a little variety in the design team’s cards for the sketch.

Be sure to check out the terrific cards the rest of the CC&S Design Team have made. Then make your own card following the sketch and share it with us at the CC&S site. You have until 6:00 p.m. Monday, June 29 to link your card. We’d love to have you join in the fun and creativity! Thanks for stopping by today.

All supplies for this card are from Stampin’ Up unless otherwise noted:
Stamp: Cake & Candles (Avery Elle)
Cardstock: River Rock, scraps from Porcelain Prints designer series paper
