Hello there! We have a sketch challenge for you this week at CAS Colours & Sketches, and I think it’s a good one for letting our participants’ creativity shine. The main element of the sketch is a circle, but the other elements can be any shape.
I’ve squashed the sketch into a landscape-oriented rectangle and taken the liberty of using a big, bold sentiment for the main image, with coordinating elements for the smaller shapes. I stamped the sentiment on designer paper before using a die to cut the circle. The hats were stamped on scraps of the same paper that were more yellow, so I colored the stripes and the polka dots orange. The colors match better in real life than in the photo. I used dimensional adhesive to attach the hats to the card. I don’t often use black for card bases but this time it worked to let the colors pop.
What will you do with this sketch? I hope you’ll try out something and share what you create with us! Link your work to the CAS Colours & Sketches blog by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday, July 20. Thanks for stopping by today!
