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’s Sketch satisfies all of the reasons above. I used sketch #66 from Stampin Pretty. I also made some changes in the original measurements of the card layers in this sketch. Those changes are:
I really wanted to create with some new designer series paper and a certain set of dies that are also new.
I wanted to use the Naturally Gilded DSP that I have had for a few months, I wanted to use The Brushed Silver Foil and I wanted to use the Impression Abloom Dies. When I placed these products on my craft table I realized I was being summoned to make an anniversary card.
Here is a list of the available products I used to create this card and their links.
