Hello there crafty friend!
It's time for a new sketch challenge!! Today starts the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 13... and it's a fun mini slimline sketch for the month of August! Slimline cards are super popular and I think the mini slimline cards are becoming just as popular so why not give it a try?! I'm actually loving the mini slimline size... it really works awesome with 6 x 6" papers which is most of my paper stash!
My first card for Sketch 13 features the adorable owl from the Going to be Owl-Right stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. I've paired it up with some pretty papers called 12 Days of Christmas and they are from The Paper Studio. The sentiment is from the Merry Girl stamp set also from Unity Stamp Co.
I actually stuck pretty much to the sketch for this one... just adding a mat to my tree layer that measures 4-1/8 x 2-1/8". I love that the bird kinda sticks out from the circle. I think it adds a bit of interest to the card. What do you think?
I used the following Copic markers to color up this sweet owl and his friend:
Owl ~ W00, W1, W2, W3, W5, W7, YR15, YR21, YR68
Branch ~ E25, E51, E55, YR15, YR21, YR68
Bird ~ R000, R14, R20, R27, G24, G43
Here's a look at the fun {BYSHC} Sketch 13 for the month of August!
I hope you'll join us and play along with the sketch! If you're interested in seeing a bit more inspiration, check out the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog!

DeleteWhat are the dimensions of your cute mini slimline and what do you use for envelopes?
ReplyDeleteI pretty much followed the sketch above for this one. I adjusted the middle piece behind the circle by 1/8" making it 4-1/8 x 2-1/8" with that black mat. The 6 x 3" mini slimlines fit in a rigid photo envelope that I've found on Amazon. For the 6-1/2 x 3-1/2" minis I've been using #10 business envelopes... not very pretty but they work. There are some crafty businesses that sell them. I just haven't purchased any yet. :) Hope this helps!
