Saturday Sketch Challenge #186



Hello everyone and welcome to Stamping 411 and a new Saturday Sketch Challenge!

Today's sketch uses a simple technique that we sometimes forget about -- tearing! Tearing your cardstock or DSP adds great interest and texture and is a fast, easy and very inexpensive way to dress up a card or project!

Here's one possible set of measurements that you might use for this sketch:

  1. Layer One -- Cardbase cut at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded
  2. Layer Two -- Cardstock cut at 4 x 5.25"
  3. Layer Three -- Cardstock of DSP cut at 4" wide and torn at approximately 4"
  4. Layer Four -- DSP cut at 2.5 x 3.5"
  5. Layer Five -- Cardstock cut at 2.25 x 3.25"

Okay! Are you ready for some inspiration from your Stamping 411 Operators? Here you go ...
