It’s time for November’s Rainy Day Sketch Challenge! Here is this month’s sketch. It was inspired by this darling card over at Diane Zachman’s blog, “Paper Cookies.”
I made a couple of cards, too, to show the sketch in action. lol
The first card shows the sketch rotated 180 degrees.
Love CAS designs, and I love the simplicity of this heart and sentiment with it’s sweet little button.
The second card shows the sketch with an orientation like the drawing.
I also love the vintage look with lace and pearls and a crocheted doily flower. A little flourish peeks out from behind the designer papers.
To make the pennant shaped panel, I cut three coordinating pieces of designer paper and lined them up side by side with the pattern side face down. The center of the middle strip was marked. Taking a square piece of cardstock, I placed it at the bottom of the strips with one of the corner points placed on the center mark high enough that the outside bottom corners of the strips were also covered by the square.
I marked the “V” and cut.
The blog candy this month is a brand new 6×6 pad of Basic Grey’s “Lucille” designer paper. It is one of the most beautiful selection of papers I have ever seen! All of the designer paper used on both of my cards are from this collection. It will be sent to a randomly drawn winner from those who play along in the challenge.
To play just leave a link to your creation in the comments section. A winner will be drawn on December 1st giving you a little over 2 weeks to participate in the challenge. Oh and please make sure that the link you leave goes to the specific card you are entering and not to your blog or gallery in general. Hope you can find some time to play!
Happy Crafting!

Love the versatility of this sketch! And thank you for sharing a trick how to make a cut!
Love both of your cards, Susan! They are soo unique in every way! Love the lace and crochet flower you added! And what a nice touch with the tiny button!
Great use of the sketch – both ways – and thanks for the cutting tutorial. Love the one with the lace! Hope to have time to play along this time!
Susan, I adore this sketch. And love each and every design. Gosh, the possibilities are endles
Oh My! This shabby chic stuff is amazing. I love the sketch and all of your takes on it. What a wonderful Basic Grey paper pack. The pennant look is sooo BIG! Great cards as usual Susan. I always get inspiration on your blog! TFS.
Neat sketch and I will have to say since I love vintage the second card is just my type, I love the black background to it and the pretty lace and flower are Lovely!
Beautiful cards! As always I’m going to try to get something done for this challenge, and probably won’t get to it. Things have been so crazy and I’m not getting everything done that I want to do. Maybe I’ll make a Christmas card, since I have a lot of them to do too.
Both cards are very pretty Susan. I like that the sketch works great for scraps of paper too. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving if I don’t see you before then. ;0)
I’m loving this design turned both ways! Great dsp and colors, and that crocheted flower is such a wonderful accent! I can’t wait to get started on this sketch 🙂
OOOO I love the papers you used on these projects — very lovely cards!
