Happy Tuesday! If you are coming back for another Unity Stamp Company Growing in Unity post, you are in the right place.
For my GIU week, I decided to challenge myself to make projects using just two kits. I love the variety of stamps that come in each Kit of the Month. I also tend to choose more simple sentiments, so I paired this KOTM with a kit that comes with two sentiment dies and matching sentiments.

Today's technique is to use a sketch and to show off your patterned paper. Lots of times, I will make cards with no stamped image at all and will rely on my (ridiculously large) patterned paper selection with a stamped sentiment to make a clean and simple card. Why? I am not a major fan of coloring, in spite of trying several media. This sketch was one in a monthly series I designed and gave to my mom for Christmas back in 2020. During 2021, we each completed the monthly sketch challenge and sent each other the cards we made. It was a great way to stay connected while we lived far apart.
Do you use sketches or patterned paper in your cardmaking?

ReplyDeleteI love clean and simple cards! ~Kathy Hering
ReplyDeleteLove this! Polka dots are always fun and it's just such a clean card.
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch and lovely card! I use sketches all the time. In fact, I depend on them since originality isn't in my toolbox. They get me inspired.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a great idea. Yes I use my patterned paper a lot!
ReplyDeleteLove this… so pretty
ReplyDeleteI use both! I will color some (basic!) so prefer simple images (flowers never look right when I color them! lol). This is cute and so perfect to mass produce using up your scraps.
ReplyDeleteGreat clean and simple card! I love sketches and patterned paper! 😃
ReplyDeleteI love using sketches and patterned paper, this one is great
ReplyDeleteI occasionally use sketches, and I do love patterned papers! Pretty card with this sketch! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! I use sketches when I'm trying to use up a paper pack. I made 72 cards from a 12x12 Christmas paper kit, using card sketches, that I will donate.
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the sketch!!-Silvia Haynes
