Happy Friday!

Your next Stamp’s Challenge #21 continues and we have more inspiration from the design team to share with you today!   If you have not already played along then join in the fun, you may just win a prize!

Challenge #21 is open through Thursday, September 3rd at midnight EST.   There is still plenty of time to play along for a chance to win a YNS gift certificate.   One random participant will win a $15.00 gift certificate to the YNS Store, plus if the winner uses YNS products on their creation they will receive an additional $5.00 on their gift certificate.  We also select our favorite creation featuring YNS products from all participants and announce a “Top Pick”.   The random winner and “Top Pick” will be announced on the YNS blog the Sunday following the challenge close.   Simply link up a picture of your creation from your blog, gallery, etc. at the bottom of this post and you will be entered to win.

Our challenges give you the choice of either a sketch or color combo. You only need to pick one…unless you really want to challenge yourself and combine the 2!

Sketch #21:

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.

Color combination #21:

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.

 The design team has some creations to share, let’s see how they were inspired!

Today a new challenge starts at Your Next Stamp and we would love for you to play along!

So what is the challenge?    Our bi-weekly challenges each have a sketch and a color combo to choose from.   Our challenges are designed to give you the freedom to choose.
