ICS Blog Hop- July 2025 - Sketch Challenge

 



Greetings my Crafty Friends!   Today ICS is sharing our creations based on this Sketch.  


I love love love playing with sketches and even love creating sketches!   and this one is Created by me :D 

Anyway.... Sketches are a great way to jump start your creativity. Use the sketch as is... Use a section of the sketch, Rotate it!  Flip it  the choice is yours!   And today I have 3 examples to share with you! 

#1 - I chose to use the sketch pretty much as is, just changing my banner tails. I did add a punched label for a little more color on my punched circle.  

#2 - For this card I chose to focus mainly on the banner and the circle.  NO additionl layers added. 


#3 - For this card I choose to focus on the Frame part of the sketch.
