Using a sketch for a layout and a card by Ingeborg Dijkstra

Last week I made this layout:

I decided to create a sketch based on my layout, which looks like this:

When I created the sketch I thought it would be fun to turn that sketch into a design for a card. The square shape and strong lines seemed perfect for a card!

I started by creating a sentiment out of journaling card from the Summerhouse Collection from Ruby Rock It. Using a craft knife I cut the white lined area out of the cardstock to make a frame for my sentiment.

I stamped my sentiment on a scrap piece of matching paper from the same collection.

I stamped it on another sheet as well. I wanted to cut the heart out of another colour to make it more colourful.
I added three strips of paper. I used the back and the front of the 'Journal' paper.

I added my sentiment on the left and added a small strip of 'Tropic' paper across the card. These gorgeous papers are now only $ 0.50 each! And here it is: the card based on a sketch based on a layout:

Have a wonderful weekend!
