After making 10 cards earlier today, I decided to find another sketch in my pile of Deconstructed Sketches that I have printed off and selected Sketch #48. I altered it a tad to make it work with the papers I was using and I really like the way they turned out.
*NOTE: The two cards above the sketch printout were made using two of the 2" strips I had leftover. To make this set of 10 cards, I ended up using every sheet in the MME paper pad My Girl that I was using. I have some 2" strips left and some pieces I am punching out that I may use on the next set of cards. I'll figure that out after posting this.
This was when I started, I made two cards to see if I liked how they looked before proceeding on with making others.
*MEASUREMENTS:
card base: 8 1/2" x 11" scored at 4 1/4"
solid layer 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
pattern layer 4" x 5 1/4"
banner
solid/pattern .. I cut a piece 3 1/8" wide and longer than 4 1/2".. after trimming the banner ends, I cut it to 4 1/2" long, adhered it to the black layer and then cut the banner ends on the black piece.
on the cards with the 2" wide banner, I cut the piece 2 1/8" wide and did the same as the banner above.
sentiment
this will be determined by your sentiment. The sentiment I used is one I bought at Michael's. I cut the white piece 1" x 3 1/2" and the black layer 1 1/8" x 3 5/8"
Here's the sketch I used: DECONSTRUCTED SKETCH #48
Supplies:
card stock: black, white
pattern: MME My Girl
stamps: Craft Smart "I LOVE YOU" from Michael's
ink: Hero Art black
accessories: Scor-Pal, Large Circle Punch and Scissors

have a great airborne day!
God Bless All Our Military.. each and every one of them

I have been enjoying your cards with the 6x6 pad papers but these are especially wonderful! LOVE the half circle and sketch that you used! I am assuming that you make these cards for military men and women to send to their family and friends???
Nice work! I have that same paper pack and love all the patterns! I like how you backed them all in black- really makes those patterned papers stand out!
Great group of cards, love the papers and the black really makes them pop! TFS!
These are fab, Pam, and I just love that sketch! Will have to try it!
I really love this sketch. Easy, colorful and adorable cards! Thanks for sharing.
