JAI 662: Just Add A Sketch

 Hi!

Welcome back to the new Just Add Ink challenge. It's such a great way to kick off the weekend! This week we have a Sketch Challenge for you, designed by Lou.

My card was a bit of an accident - I started making a card for my daughter's 18th birthday, and then realised that it fitted the sketch perfectly!

This style of card is called a Bay Window Card, as the front of it folds out to look like the shape of a bay window. Of course, you then cut a window into the front to reveal the inside of your card. My daughter recently purchased a very popular video game, and so I designed the card to look like a bit of a portal opening to the world in the game - hence the space paper and the game controller as the window.

Here's the card folded flat, to show you both how it fits the sketch, and that it can easily be sent in the post. Luckily I was just able to hand the card to Ada!

Here is the inside of the card, showing the main character of the game and the world that he is running around in, getting up to all kinds of adventures. I coloured him with my Watercolour Pencils to suit the look of the DSP better than Copics would.

And here's the back of the card, where I wrote my message to Ada. This character is one of the key characters in the game

There's lots of inspiration on how to use this sketch over on the Just Add Ink blog. The Design Team ave done a wonderful job with it. Now, we'd like to see what YOU will do with it! Just add your card to our Linky when you've made it.

Bye for now,

Tina
