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"
