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 cardmust include the major elements of the card sketch, such as the number of layers and the general position of the embellishments and/or diecuts. 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 givenor 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 August's card sketch.
August's challenge will run from August 11th, 2019 until August 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 August 31st, 2019 at 5pm EST with the subject line Second Sunday Sketches Entry.
The day after the last day of the month aka the first day of the next month (September 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. August's Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge prize is Item #149494 Noble Peacock 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 is a sample of how I interpreted this card sketch using the Tropical Chic stamp set.
There are many ways to change this card to make it your own! You can rotate the card layout for a side folding card, change the leaf image to a jar of candy, a pumpkin, a cat, etc, or move the leaf from the left side to the right side. There are many ways to customize this card sketch while keeping the major elements.
