I often use card sketches when my creativity is sluggish, when I want to use up scraps or ephemera from my stash, when I want to revisit some of my favorite retired products, or when I have new products and I want to play with them. So this Saturday Sketch satisfies all of the reasons I use a sketch.
I selected the Stampin Pretty Sketch #66. I liked that the sketch was simple but with the possibility of becoming the base that could inspire a beautiful card.
I decided to edit the card sketch because I really wanted to play with a variety of products. So, here is my edited version of card sketch #66.
These are the measurments for my edited card sketch.
Below is the first card I created and the supply list.
