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 October's card sketch.
October's challenge will run from October 13th, 2019 until October 31st, 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 October 31st, 2019 at 5pm EST with the subject line Second
Sunday Sketches Entry.
The
day after the last day of the month (November 1st), 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. October's
Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge prize is Item #150457 Holiday Rhinestones 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 are a few samples of how I interpreted this card sketch using the Boo to You stamp set and the Monster Bash Designer Series Paper.
There are many ways to change this card to make it your own! You can make the banner longer or shorter, add another layer to the small rectangle, move the small rectangle to the center, and more!
Below are the measurements I used to create this card sketch.
