Sunday Sketch | Carson Riutta

This week our scrapbook sketch is an 8.5" x 11" layout featuring rectangular elements lined up down the center of the page, with a photo in the bottom half. Our card sketch has central element layered over strips with a title in the upper left-hand corner. And our pocket page sketch features a 3" x 4" title card with embellishment and a 3" x 4" photo card. Creative Team member Carson Riutta is joining us this week and sharing her take on the week's card sketch! Be sure to follow Carson here at SC to see more of her work and keep up with her.

Our scrapbook sketch comes from Maggie Massey's Kinsley & Jorie layout:

And here's Carson's take on our card sketch:

I chose to work with Lisa’s awesome card sketch as I love how simple and striking her cards always are! I knew I wanted to feature that “Light it Up” die-cut from the Summer Camp Kit, and Lisa’s layout was the perfect match.

I used the star pattern building stamp from the Doodles add-on stamp set to begin the layered stripe behind the die-cut. I then layered a few matching patterned papers and some colorful ribbon and twine to make the card pop! The sentiment stamps from the Doodles stamp set went beautifully with the die-cut phrase and I simply finished the card off with a few of the puffy asterisks in coordinating colors. This was a fun and easy card to put together and I can’t wait to send it to a good friend!
