DSP - Sketches

Hello my friends.

For something a little different...I decided to use a sketch that I found in one of those cardmaking magazines.  A sketch? Simply put, someone has thought of the design for a card and you follow it in how you want your card to look like.  It kind of takes the guess work out of it.  For the times that you are just brain dead and today, I am.  You can always follow someone else's or you can make a sketch  for yourself before committing to gluing pieces of cardstock together. 

Here's what I came up with:  I used a piece of Domestic Goodness Designer Series Paper (page 52) and a 1 1/4" Circle Punch (page 112) .  I scattered the circles on a Barely Banana piece of cardstock as the base.  I put that piece of Barely Banana through the Big Shot (page 215) with a embossing folder called Perfect Polka Dots (page 219) I then used a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock to stamp my sentiment which came from a mini catalogue last year that unfortunately, is not available anymore.  But I still love it.

It was an easy card to put together - mainly because I didn't have to design it.  I just followed the sketch and used what is some pretty awesome Designer Series Paper.  Cardmaking shouldn't be creating the wheel...you're still creating but getting a hand in the process.
