A Simple Card Sketch for a Quick and Easy Card

Simple Card SketchIt’s Monday, since my focus has been on scrapbook pages, I thought today was a good day to do a card sketch.Happy Birthday, Make a wish! If you missed sending out a card for Mother’s Day, you can knock this out pretty quickly and stick it in the mail today! My example is themed Happy Birthay because my son will be 41 at the end of the week…

The card base is not outlined in this sketch, so I wanted to point out that the first two strips going from the left cover the card base completely, the third is a little shorter and is set just a bit below the base of the card. As I look at the finished card, I think edge distressing the card would have added a bit more dimension, and would point out the edge better.  See, I make errors in judgement too, often seein what I “should have done.” But you have to remember, there are no “shoulds” in papercrafting, unless you are following scoring lines to put something together. In this case, you could alter any part of this card and it would still be fine.

Here is my finished card. Please leave a comment below and tell me your thoughts on this card sketch and card.

 

Creatively, Carol
