Sundays Are for Sketches: Jan.-April '25 Mini Catalog Sketch #5 of 10

The fifth card sketch in the Jan.-Apr. '25 Mini Catalog was hard for me, but I really like what I ended up creating.  I hope that you do, too!  (I love how a challenge can stretch you creatively!)

I grabbed some of my current stash and went to work.  I used a 1-1/4" punch to cut a circle in the front of my card base and then in Totally Toadstools DSP to create the three circles.  I die cut the oval sentiment piece and then did a combo of paper trimmer and fussy cutting for the sentiment strip.

It was fun to punch one of the circles all the way through the card front to adhere the DSP circle on the inside, peek-a-boo style.

I thought that circle was too plain by itself, so I added a few more on the inside.

My sentiments were stamped with Pebbled Path from the Everyday Arches collection, and the adorable snail on the inside is from a fall Paper Pumpkin kit.

Have fun getting creative with a challenge, because you never know how you'll grow!
