Today we are kicking off Challenge #12!  That means if you are looking for some inspiration then we have it for you.   There is a new sketch, a new color challenge and new creations from the design team!

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.  That means 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 Challenge #12 is open for the next 2 weeks through April 30, 2015 midnight EST.

We always give you 2 challenges to pick from, so choose your favorite…will it be 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.

Or is the color challenge your favorite? 

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.
