YOUR NEXT STAMP FEATURE DAY will be on MAY 25th!!!

Stop back to the Your Next Stamp Blog on Monday, May 25th for your chance to win a stamp set of your choice!!!   

Normally, Feature Day falls on the 22nd of each month, but since today is also challenge day, we are making you wait just a few days.   I promise, Monday will be here before you know it.    If you are looking for a way to pass the time, why don’t you play along with challenge #14???!!!

We have more inspiration to share today for challenge #14.  Our challenge always give you 2 options to pick from, so choose your favorite…will it be the sketch or color combo?  Play along and you may just be the winner of a gift certificate to the YNS store!!!

Your Next Stamp’s Color and Sketch Challenge #14 is open through May 28, 2015 midnight EST, so there is still plenty of time to play along.

Up first, the sketch…

If you use the sketch feel free to swap out shapes or rotate; so long as we can see the basic sketch was your inspiration.  Check out what the design team did with the sketch below…a few decided to put the sketch on it’s side.

Or will it be a warm color combo that gets you crafting?

If you choose the color combo, be sure to use at least 3 colors and feel free to add in neutrals.  The names of the colors are based on Bazzill cardstock, but substitute whatever you have that is close to it.
