Cards in Envy Feeling Sketchy!



This round at Cards in Envy, we're asking that you use a sketch to create your card.  Any sketch will do although we would appreciate a link or at least a picture of the sketch so we can all be inspired by your interpretation.  This is going to be fun! 

I have a secret tho.  I am not a fan of sketches. There I've said it. I can be very literal so sometimes find it hard to see the possibilities a sketch provides vs. thinking the sketch must be exactly so. I've been working on it and trying to loosen up my brain a bit. Not that I went off the creative deep end on this interpretation of Freshly Made Sketches #284, however. LOL.  FMS has a BUNCH of sketches to peruse and is a good spot to get some direction if you're having layout woes.


I'm entering this in Watercooler Wednesday #170 Masculine Anything Goes, Crafter's Cafe #194 All Creatures Great and Small, CAS on Friday #133 Birthday, Simon Says Wednesday Stencil It

  1. Wow terrific use of this sketch for your wonderful card I think your interpretation is perfect. I love those monkey images, they're so beautifully coloured and cute and the background DSP really grounds them. I also like the rest of the white space in your card is uncluttered. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing at the Masculine "Anything Goes" Watercooler Wednesday challenge this week.

  4. Well I think you've chosen the perfect sketch for this and it's a fabulous , cute card. I know what you mean about sketches though. I really like them for scrapbooking but often I find that card sketches are either so basic I could manage without them or so complicated that I wouldn't even try!
