We are in week two of the current sketch challenge. This challenge coordinates purr-fectly with the Card Layout 4 die cut. This week the IPC design team have some different ideas of how to use the sketch. We have summer, autumn, and Halloween with a darling feline one! Check them out!

Claire Lamb uses the speech bubble paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad with the Card Layout 4 die. She then adds a trio of black cats using the Cat Silhouettes die set. She stamps her sentiment on a stitched circle made using the Circle Frames die set. The black Silhouettes look stiking on the brightly colored paper! So cute!

Crystal Minkler was inspired to use a trio of papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad to create the sketch. She adds a little pumpkin patch from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and coordinating die set. Doesn't the kitty look so cute popping out of one of those Jack-o-lanterns? Great way to share some Halloween greetings!

She then uses the Card Layout 4 die to create the white frame. She adds the haunted house using the Haunted House die. She adds the spooky feline ghost from the Ghostly Good Times stamp set. The black and white combo with a splash of yellow makes for a fun Halloween card!
