Sketch #55: It's ROUND!

Guess what!? Creatively Yours has decided to branch out into the world of ROUND sketches! To start us off, here is a really flexible and FUN round sketch from Noella-- there's so much that can be created using this sketch as an idea generator!

A few fun Design Tips!

Remember, with a round sketch you can:

1~ Use shaped cardstock, purchased pre-cut in a large circle

2~ Use the new pre-cut scalloped round cardstock

3~ Save money and cut your own circular cardstock. Here's how: Use a dinner plate as a template with a 12x12" piece of cardstock. Lightly trace the dinner plate's outline in pencil on the BACK of the cardstock you have chosen. Cut along the traced outline. Remember to move the cardstock and not the scissors as you cut! You'll end up with a nice "smooth" circle this way!

4~In idea #3, instead of your regular scissors, try using pinking shears from your sewing area for a COOL saw-toothed edge treatment! Or- use your decorative scissors for even more options! Just remember to cut slowly and use extra care.

5~ Get the circular "look" by using a piece of 12x12" cardstock and adhering paper cut in a circle to the centre of it. Choose solid or patterned paper and cardstock for different looks! Then, create your layout!

6~ If you've used idea #5, why not accent the edge of that circle with buttons, paper piercing, stitching, Stickles, fiber, penwork or other decoration? Use your imagination!
