Sunday Sketch Card - Snow Front Stamp Set

Hello Stampers it is Sunday Sketch today, Patsy here!

My goal with today's Sunday Sketch since it was only October was to demonstrate how you could use this card for other seasons besides winter. I should have created a "real" snow front card since it seems winter wants to come early in Minnesota. This past week we have had to shovel snow! Sad Face.

I truly love this style of two step stamp set which allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want. Masculine cards are always a challenge for some so hopefully today's card will inspire your next guy card.

Each Sunday Alison Solven (my border buddy) and I take turns creating a card using one of our card sketches. Sketches can help to get your creativity fired up. They are open to interpretation, no real right or wrong way. I really enjoyed create a card with today's sketch.

You can create a card exactly using the sketch layout like I did today or change it up a bit, by turning the sketch from portrait to horizontally or using a square instead of a circle etc. Let your imagination run wild!
