We have a new Sketch Challenge (PPA143) at Pals Paper Arts and we hope you'll join the fun and play along! This sketch is super simple was designed for showcasing a beautiful designer paper or some wonderful stamped images! I really hope you'll give it a try!
For my masculine card, I chose to stay fairly true to the sketch and show off a great map patterned paper! Maps are really trendy right now in cardmaking and scrapbooking! I kept everything simple and clean to highlight the beauty of the map and the gorgeous colors in the paper! This card is a perfect example of making the paper work for you! A sentiment from the Word Play stamp set is the perfect complement for this DSP and features a separate stamped and snipped image of the world popped up with a single dimensional! A quick and easy card that requires very few supplies!
I hope you like the sketch and my card as much as I do! Please leave me a comment below if you do! I love hearing from you and I'm always anxious to know what you think!
See how my fellow PPA Design Team members interpreted this sketch! I'm sure you'll be inspired by their wonderful work! Now it's your turn! Get out those supplies and get busy! I can't wait to see what you do with the sketch!

Maps are trendy right now and this one looks great on your card! That sentiment is perfect for it too. The ruler is a great touch!

Very cool! That map pattern is on the flip side of the DSP I used and I couldn't decide which way to put it 'cause I love the map! Finally settled on the pink side!
