Challenge #445 - Sketch

Joanne here with my favourite kind of challenge for you - a sketch. This one has a single layer beneath a clear focal point with overlapping sentiment. I've used a circle shape for the focal point, but feel free to change it out for an alternative shape if you would prefer. 


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

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

Challenge #444 - Colours

Hello fellow crafters, Joanne here! It's a new month and with it a new set of challenges with me as your hostess! This week I have one of my favourite festive colour combinations for you - I can't wait to see how this palette inspires you.


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.

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.
