Layer2: 4 1/4" x 2

Layer 3: 4 1/2" x 1/2" or some type of embellishment going across

Layer 4: some shape, die cut OR just a rectangle with your stamped image! :)  Keep it simple or sky's the limit.

Good Evening Friends!

It's my favorite time of the week!  Saturday Sketch Time!

Thanks to all that play along with us!  I love seeing all the beautiful creations you come up with!

This week's sketch can be as simple or elaborate as you wish!  Just look at the variation in the cards submitted by the operators this week!  They are all gorgeous and so very different!  Happiness!!

So how about some potential measurements for this fun sketch.  (for specific measurements by the operators, please visit their blogs via the links below). 

Base Layer: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"
Layer 2:  1 1/2" x 5" with a flag pattern cut into it.  You could use ribbon for this layer or whatever suits your fancy.  if you're using paper, try using the corner of a square punch to get that shape!
Layer 3: focal point.  The image shown is probably about 3 x 3 1/2", but look at your stamps and try making the focal point paper the same size as the block you are stamping with (wood or clear).

Check out these gorgeous samples!!

Saturday Sketch Challenge SSC266

Good Evening Friends!

I hope you are enjoying your summer.  Convention kicked off the week for a mini operator break to give us some time to spend with our families when the weather is so nice outside! We will resume doing "top 5" and other "how to" posts around the 1st of September. 

We are still going strong with our sketch challenge and this week's sketch is pretty fun!  I hope you have a few moments to play along.  With this sketch it may not take you more than that!

If you're gonna try going square, I recommend trying the 4 1/4" square size with this sketch.   You can easily use the focal point on a standard  sized card.  There's no rules!  If you are going 4 1/4" square, could still use the regular medium sized envelope.  You will have a little extra room, but wont have to pay the additional postage that's required for mailing a square card (sneaky sneaky selene'e).  Here's one set of potential measurements.  To find out what the operators did specifically on their creations, just link on over to them.

Base Layer: 8 1/2" x 4 1/4", scored and folded in half at 4 1/4"
Layer 2 and 3: 2  3/4" squares.  (the first one gets applied on the diamond, and the second is a square)
Layer 4: 2 1/2" square (attached on the diamond)

This is a super fun and whimsical layout!  I can't wait to see what you come up with when using it as a jumping off point!

Although we are "technically" on vacation, we still do hold true to our rules for play.  check them out at the bottom before you play along (please).

Let's see what the AMAZING design team has for you tonight!
