When it is my turn to draw up a sketch for a challenge at Freshly Made Sketches I use two very "scientific" techniques. Sometimes I doodle with a pencil on a blank sheet of paper until a layout takes shape. Sometimes I cut out shapes and actually move them around until a layout I like develops. So to prepare for this week's sketch I sharpened my #2 yellow pencil and sat down at my desk. And right there on the corner of my desk were six cards I had just made using the new Waterfront set. The elements of this set work together beautifully to create countless outdoor scenes. And those same elements gave me the basic design of my sketch this week! Maybe checking my card stash should be my third technique for developing a sketch!
I'd love to see how you interpret my sketch this week. Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Amazing card! I just love the scene you've created with your wonderful sketch - you've really nailed it!
Beautiful card! Love that mountain scene that you've created. And I love even more that you nailed the sketch with a card that you'd made before you even saw it. :)
I love the way your brain works, Linda... I love the way your stamps work even more! Gorgeous...

I love this pretty little scene. It's perfect for a "thinking of you" card. And I loved working with this sketch!

This is one of the prettiest cards I've seen using this stamp set. Lovely!
Your sketch is great and your card is just perfect! Such a gorgeous scene!
Doodles and shapes are a great way to dream up a sketch. They obviously work here! What a clever design!
This looks like a hand painted masterpiece Linda - how great that the card inspired the sketch!
What everyone else said and then some. What an interesting and fantastic idea for a sketch challenge. I'm always amazed at how your brain works.
This is such a beautiful card Linda! I just love that scene! Reminds me of being out in Alberta visiting the Rocky Mountains! So pretty! Thanks for a great sketch this week!
