Second Sunday Sketches #02

It is time for another Second Sunday Sketches challenge! If you are new to Second Sunday Sketches, please review the rules here or below. Each second Sunday of the month, I will post a card sketch. A sketch is graphic or drawing of how the elements of a card are layed out.

You will then use the sketch as a guide to create your own card. Your card must be a new creation and reflect the challenge guidelines. Your card must include the major elements of the card sketch, such as the number of layers and the general position of the embellishments and/or die cuts. You can rotate the sketch for a top-folding card or for a side-folding card.

You choose the occasion and the color palette as well as the stamp set(s) and the embellishments. I do ask that you use Stampin' Up! products (current or retired).

The measurements will also be included in the blog post for each Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge. You can use the measurements as given or increase them or decrease them. For example, if a greeting is stamped on a 1" circle on the sketch, but the greeting you choose is 1-3/4", then increase the size of the circle to 1-3/4". You can also change the shape. Instead of a circle, you can use an oval, a square, a daisy punch, etc.

The challenge will run from the second Sunday of the month until the last day of that month.

Below is June's card sketch.

June's challenge will run from June 9th, 2019 until June 30th, 2019 at 5pm EST.

If you would like to participate in the Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge, please create a card using the sketch above and email me a photo of your card by June 30th at 5pm with the subject line Second Sunday Sketches Entry.

I will place all of the names of the participants in a hat and randomly draw a winner. The winner will receive a prize! The prize each month will change and will be announced at the start of each challenge. June's Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge prize is Item #149485 Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack and three hand-made cards from me.

If you are the winner, I will notify you by email. Please respond to my email with your complete mailing address, and I will mail you your prize! If the winner does not respond to my email within 7 days, I will draw another winner.

I will also post all of the entries on my blog (with your names attached to the photos) and the name of the winner.

Here is a sample of how I interpreted this card sketch using the stamp set from February 2019's Paper Pumpkin Kit Grown with Kindness.

There are many ways to change this card to make it your own! You can switch the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (DSP) for a piece of ribbon, twine, or a decorative die. You can change the color palette. Rotate the card layout 90 degrees to the left and have the area where the succulent Designer Series Paper is be on the bottom of the card front instead of on the left side. Change the stamp set. Use the card sketch graphic and the example card as your inspiration!

Below are the measurements I used to create this card sketch.

Paper Pumpkin is giving us a sneak peek into June's Project Kit! Paper Pumpkin and Stampin' Up! are all about sharing kindness through creativity. And, as dedicated as we are to making a difference with our papercrafting, sometimes we just don't have a card on hand when it is needed most. June's kit will feature a project kit with 16 fun-sized beach themed cards, coordinating envelopes, and a carrying case to help when you need a card for acknowledging the kindness of someone on the spot or for a random act of kindness. The color palette is Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, and Whisper White. I can't wait to see what is in store for June's kit! Sign up for Paper Pumpkin by June 10th to receive June's Kit!
