Monday Challenge ~ Use a Sketch ~ By Jayne Loughlin

Good Morning Fiskarettes.

I have drawn up a simple Sketch for you to follow this week as a challenge. The idea of a Sketch is to give you Inspiration so you don’t have to follow it to the line. You can mix it up, leave something off, add something.. it’s up to you. Only one rule have fun !

Here’s my card ….

Items needed: Scalloped Lace Border Punch, Fiskars ShapeCutter Plus, Circle Template, Medium Circle Squeeze Punch, Scissors, Patterned paper, Card Blank, Ink, Adhesive & Bling, Pen.

Instructions: Cover the card Blank with a bright patterned paper (i’ve used a Red Christmas paper)

Cut 2 strips approx 2.5 cms (1″) wide & a little wider than your card..You can always trim these after. Punch one long edge with a Scalloped Lace Border Punch. Ink the scallops of these strips.

Also cut a strip of paper approx 7.5cms (3″) & the width of your card. Tuck the Scalloped strips behind this plain strip so they are sticking out along the top & bottom edges. Trim if needed. Glue this to the card front.

Cut a rectangle piece 8 x 4cms (3 1/4″ x 1 3/4″) I’ve added a piece with a deer picture on (It was actually a scrap from the front of a stack of paper) Glue this to the left facing side between the Scallops.

I’ve used a Circle rather than an Oval … I Cut a Circle using the Fiskars ShapeCutter plus & Circles Template out of Cardstock. Ink edges & add Bling around edge.

Punch a circle using the Squeeze Punch & Ink the edges. Glue this to the bottom of the previous Circle you cut. Add more Bling & add a title. Glue this onto the bottom right facing side just up from bottom edge of card.

Finished.
