Good afternoon! Here's this week's sketch. The main idea is to use something besides a basic shape as your main layer. So- circles, rectangles, squares, and ovals are off limits. Many crafters have a plethora of other shapes to use. I have several dies from the Nestabilities Labels collection, among others! If you don't have any label dies, perhaps you have a stamp that can serve as a guideline to cut around.
I ended up using the Top Note die on my card. I've always liked how the perforated border looked. I didn't end up following my sketch exactly. Because I wanted to use the ornaments from Vintage Ornaments (thank you to PTI for making dies to make this set SO much more user friendly!), and they are quite large, I had to rearrange my elements.
Once I finished my card, I realized it's not that simple. However, the sketch itself is rather straightforward and it got me stamping!
Supplies:
- Stamps: Vintage Ornaments, Inside & Out: Holidays
- Paper: So Saffron, White, Sweet Pea DSP
- Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Taken with Teal, So Saffron
- Accessories, etc.: Top Note Bigz die, Vintage Ornaments die, Diamonds Impression Plate, Baker's Twine

And here's my take on the sketch. I'm still in Christmas card mode, especially now that we've had 20 or 30 cm of snow in the last week.
I dug up some paper of the Christmas past for this card. I've also been on a bit of a fancy felt circle kick lately.
Supplies:
This card was actually inspired by a cake that I saw. I used the basic colours and layout of the cake and built a card around it. And then, since unfortunately I didn't have much spare time this week, I designed this week's Fall-to Sketch around that card!

I'm still keeping things very simple (go figure!) Even though almost all the leaves have been gone for weeks (there have been some crazy winds!) I haven't had my fill of fall colours.
