Saturday Sketch Challenge #171

Hello everyone and welcome to a new Saturday Sketch challenge from the Stamping 411 Operators. We're so glad you stopped by to visit and we hope that you go away with inspiration and ideas for your own stamping projects. We invite you to play along with our challenge. You've got until 8 AM Thursday to come back and link your project below!

Look at the sketch we have for you this week! Just think of all the possibilities you can do with those 3 matted frames. The possibilities are endless!

Here's one possible set of measurements you might use to get started! Of course, as with any sketch, this is just a catalyst for your own creativity. You can alter and vary it as you see fit. The sky is the limit!

1. Layer One -- Cut cardstock at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded to make the Card Base.
2. Layer Two (all three mats) -- Cut at 1.25 x 3.25"
3. Layer Three (all three mats) -- Cut at 1 x 3".
4. Layer Four -- run a narrow strip of cardstock or use ribbon for the horizontal band.

Remember, if you need help with measuring, you can refer to THIS POST on how to read a ruler, written by our own Lee Conrey!

Okay, speaking of Inspiration and Ideas, are you ready to see what the Stamping 411 Operators have created this week? You won't be sorry that you stopped for eye candy.
