Thought I'd give a sketch challenge a whirl so headed over to Just Add Ink to see what their latest challenge was.  Here is my entry.  I've used the bright and colourful Flowering Zinnias DSP for a pair of cheerful thanks cards. 

Here is the sketch - my card maths was a bit wonky so I ended up adding a few more strips instead of the 4 in the sketch. 

Here is a closer look at each card.  My white cardstock panel is 3 1/2" x 5".  The background paper is card front size (10.5cm x 14.8cm.)  My DSP strips are 8.5cm wide and varying heights so they fit evenly.  I'd planned 4 evenly sized strips but my maths was wonky so I ended up making them varying sizes.  (And I'm a maths teacher - oopsie!!) 

And since I had some strips left over I made a second one.  The Flowering Zinnias DSP is from our Online Exclusives collection.  The circle die with the stitched edge is from Changing Leaves Dies and the thanks greeting is from Simply Said stamp set - also from our Online Exclusives. 

It was fun to take part in a challenge.  Pop on over to Just Add Ink if you'd like to take part or to browse all of the entries and the design team inspiration.  

Happy creating,

Cheers, Sue
