Playing with sketches can be a lot of fun. They’re a great jumping off point for card designs. One thing I love about them is that they can be approached in a literal or more interpretive manner, depending on how you feel at the time. Here I have done one of each.
When I set about trying to think of ideas for my 10 cards 1 kit video with the April Simon Says Stamp card kit my focus was on the stamps, and I managed to come up with ten one layer cards using only the stamp set.
