Saturday Sketch Challenge SSC122 ~ a square card

Happy Weekend!

There's just something about a square card that makes me feel like I've taken my creation to the next level ~ it's so elegant.

This week's sketch challenge is for a square card or scrapbook page. You can make YOUR creation any square size you like, but I'm going to give you measurements for a square envelope that fits a 5 1/4" card.

Base: 5 1/4" x 10 1/2" (scored at 5 1/4")
Layer 2: 5x5
Layer 3 (pink color): 5 x 2 1/2"
Layer 4 (dark green): 1/2" x 5 *Note: for this layer you might consider using ribbon.
Layer 5 & 6: you would want to go by your stamp, but for this sketch you could use 3x3 ~ if you cut from a 12 x 12, you will get 12 pieces from one sheet.
Layer 6&7: Again, measure the wood on your stamp for exact measurements for your creation, but if you were going exactly by the sketch, you could make this layer 1 1/2"

Above all, please have fun! Take creative liberties and change the sketch to suit your card, stamps, and style.
