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 January's card sketch.

Some Ideas on How to Make this Card Sketch Your Own
There are many ways to change this card to make it your own! You can rotate the card layout 90 degrees, change the circle to another shape, add a mat layer beneath the circle, curl your banner greeting, use embossing folders to add more texture to a mat layer, and more!I am looking forward to seeing your personal take on the ninth Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge!

Happy Stamping!
