There is still 1 week left to participate in Challenge #9. Link up your creation by March 19, 2015 at midnight EST.
Play along and you may just be the random winner of a gift certificate to the YNS store!!!
There are 2 challenges to choose from either a sketch or color challenge, plus, you can combine both if you really want to challenge yourself.
Check out sketch #9 – lots of rectangles and one circle, but remember that you can rotate the sketch and swap out shapes, such as replacing the circle with a star, etc. So long as the basic sketch is clearly your inspiration you are good to go.
Here is the spring filled color combo for challenge #9.
If you choose the color combo, be sure to use at least 3 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.
***
The Design Team has more colorful and creative inspiration based on Challenge #9 to share with you.
Be sure to join in the fun and share your own creation inspired by either the sketch or the colors OR both! Link up your project through Inlinkz below.

Are you ready for the weekend? Hopefully you will be able to get in lots of crafty time and play along with Your Next Stamp’s Color and Sketch Challenge #8!
Challenge #8 is open through March 5, 2015 midnight EST, so there is still plenty of time to play along. Any brand of stamps/dies are welcome. One random participant will win a $15.00 YNS store gift certificate and if the winner’s creation features YNS products then an additional $5.00 is added to the prize!
Just choose the sketch challenge or the color challenge OR double the challenge and combine both!
Sketch #8 is full of circles, but feel free to swap ’em out for another shape. Any other shape will do so long as the basic sketch is clearly your inspiration.
If sketches are not your thing then how about a color challenge?
If you choose the color combo, be sure to use at least 3 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.
