Design Team Call and Challenge #443 - Sketch

We are looking for some new members

to add to our Design Team!

Our blog is dedicated to creating greeting cards in the Clean and Simple style of crafting, alternating between color challenges and sketch challenges. Design Team responsibilities include designing cards for our challenges and sharing them on your own blog, commenting on challenge entries and voting for our Weekly Winners every week, and acting as our host and creating challenge ideas for at least one month during the year.

If you would like to be considered for a position on our team, you must have participated in last week's color challenge and this week's sketch challenge so that we can see your work in both types of challenges. Please add the letters "DT" after your name when you link your cards for the two challenges, and make sure that your cards follow our Challenge Rules. Applicants will be contacted during the month of November.  Our new members will join us as our Guest Designers for our 450th challenge in December and start on the team full-time in January 2022.

 

Hello there! It's Vicky here, back with a sketch for the last challenge of my hosting month. The digital version of the sketch looks quite full-on but this really is a clean and simple idea I promise! I envisaged a curve of stamping or die-cutting, topped with a sentiment label, and with lots of that all-important clear space in the background.

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card. 

Our design team has created the following cards to inspire you:

Hello again crafting friends! It's Vicky here, reporting for duty as your host for October. It's colour time this week and I've come up with a versatile set of colours that could be used for autumnal or festive cards - or anything else come to that!

For our color challenges, you must use all of the stated challenge colors. You may also use neutral colors; however, the challenge colors should be the most noticeable ones featured on your card. We use Stampin' Up color names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies' products as long as you match the challenge colors as closely as possible.

Challenge #441 - Sketch

Hello friends and welcome to another fun challenge! It's Vicky here, hosting for the month of October. This week I'm hoping to inspire you with one of my favourite types of sketch:

SO many ways to use this - designer paper, smaller stamps, a large background stamp at an angle... I can't wait to see how you interpret it! Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card :)
