Challenge #11 starts today and we have a new sketch, new color challenge and new inspiration from the design team!  Choose your favorite, whether it be the sketch or the color combo – we always give you 2 challenges to choose from.

Play along and you may just be the winner of a gift certificate to the YNS store!!!  All paper crafting products are welcome, as are all paper crafted creations.  Don’t feel limited to just a card…perhaps there is a scrapbook layout in your future? Or how about a 3D creation?

Your Next Stamp’s Color and Sketch Challeng#11 is open for the next 2 weeks through April 16, 2015 midnight EST.

There may be stars on sketch #11, but 3 of any shape will do.  Also, remember that you can rotate the sketch.  We just need to see that the basic sketch was clearly your inspiration.
