Hi Everyone!

We are back with more inspiration for challenge #17.  You have until July 9th at midnight EST to play along.  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.

Did you check out the challenge yet?  Each challenge always has a sketch and a color combo to choose from.   The colors and sketch change for each new challenge.

Sketch #17 is full of rectangles.

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.

The colors for #17 contain purple, greens and yellow as well as grey.

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.

Here is the design team’s take on the challenges…

Welcome back everyone!   We are ending the week with a new challenge!

Each challenge has a sketch and a color combo to choose from, which will be your inspiration?

So what do you think of this sketch?   I am slightly addicted to circles.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.

How about this for a color combo?

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.
