Sunday Stamps Card Challenge - 228

Card Sketches

Hello crafters and card makers.   Welcome.   Today's card had been created using the card sketch from #SSC228 or Sunday Stamps Card Challenge.   I don't know about you, but I love a card sketch.  Sometimes when you have an idea in your head, it's easy to get going and get crafty.   Other days, I don't always know where I want to get started.   Having a map, or directions, helps me spring into action.   Check out the sketch.

The second thing I love about sketches, is that the interpretation of the sketch can be very broad or exactly as you see.  This map for the #SSC228, has a diagonal split on one of the layering mats.  Love that!  Now let's have a look at my card.

Are you wondering why I have an Autumn theme going on here?   Good thinking.   This card is working for two challenges for me.  Currently I am involved in a #30cardmakingchallenge and on day 11 the theme was Autumn.  I used the map for this #SSC228 and combined the Autumn feel for the Sunday Stamps Challenge.

The final thing I love about card making sketches and challenges, is that I am able to stretch my creativity.  For instance, thinking about Autumn during Spring is not something I normally do.  That made this card fun.   In addition, normally I don't include diagonal cutting in my approach to card making.  This was so much fun and quite easy, I will continue to adopt this style in the future.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you enjoyed my card and I have inspired you to create something today.   With the current global pandemic COVID-19, I wish you good health and be safe.  Make something for someone today!   Kindness is the greatest thing we can share!
