Card Sketch #001


So....I learned a new skill (thanks to @Catherine Carroll)...how to create card sketches/layouts/templates whatever you choose to call them using Canva.  I can't say that I'm an expert at it, but it sure was fun learning.  I'm still wet behind the ears, but I'm excited to share the first one with you!  

Very easy and very simple...you know me #simpleyetelegant is my style. So what do you think?  I'm a proponent of having measurements on templates...seeing as I usually can't figure them out for myself...so that's one thing I had to ensure that I included.

So let me share with you the card I created using this layout! The focal image was created from the Technique Tuesday, Greenhouse Society April Stamp "Petunia" and colored using Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends and some wink of Stella added for a touch of extra sparkle.  I used Stampin' Up! Regals DSP (an often overlooked item in the catalog...in-color, regals, neutrals, brights, and subtles, I mean) and then matted with Basic Black and Fresh Freesia (the largest layer). 

I'm going to continue making sketches...I can't promise that I pop out 2 or more per week, can't even promise one per week, but as I create them, I'll post them on my Pinterest board and create a blog post to let you know.  

I hope you'll try my sketches and the better I get, the better they'll get.  If you do try them, be sure to post what you've created.

Happy Stampin'
