Square cards are hard for me for some reason. I don't know if it is just because of the limited space or what. I used the color coach for the Baja Breeze with Cajun Craze and Basic Gray for two of my cards and the color coach for Basic Gray with Melon Mambo and Old Olive. I made a total of three cards. One is square for the challenge and the others are a standard A2 size for mailing. I used the SU! stamp set Happiest Birthday Wishes, SU! Cardstock, Ribbon and Buttons.
The square one:
This one I made for my mom for her birthday today:
One of my friends, Lynda, sent out a request for her dad's 90th birthday. Her dad, Johnny, shares a birthday with my mom. She wanted us to flood him with birthday wishes! I am sure it was like a tsunami if he is anything like his daughter... so sweet and fun to be around. I did add a scallop under the tag on this one because I felt it needed a little something extra to help make it pop. Here is the card I made for him:
So here we have three different cards made from a sketch. It goes to show that even if a sketch is square or not square that you can always tweak it to become your own. The color coach is a great tool to use when looking for color combinations... I have a hard time with cards for guys so I really like to use the COlor Coach as my starting point.
Here is a close-up of the stamp set:
