Bi-Weekly Sketch Challenge #6

Welcome to our 6th bi-weekly sketch challenge! Here’s the sketch for this challenge. It’s open to interpretation. Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch, use different shapes, add other elements to suit the type of paper craft you’re making, and so on — just make sure the sketch is recognizable in your submission(s). You can use stamps by other companies to create projects that you enter to our challenges, although if you have STAMPlorations stamps in your stash, we'd be tickled if you use them!





PRIZE
The sketch challenges are sponsored by our sister shop, All About Scrapping. The winner gets to pick 3 DIGITAL products from the shop — any combination of printable sheetsPhotoshop templates, and digital paper packs. The winner will also be invited to be a Guest Designer in next month's sketch challenge.

Guest Designer

"Hey fellow challenge enthusiasts! I'm Julia and I live just north of Boston, MA in the USA. My mother was an elementary school teacher and my father was a commercial artist so between the two, my sister and I did lots of artsy craftsy things starting at a very young age - and it continues into adulthood. I discovered card stamping about 8 years ago and it has become my passion - both on cards and other objects like boxes, bags and tags! I'm on a few design teams so those along with blog challenges keep me busy in the craft I love!  I work full time so I stamp late into the night! I am thrilled to have been asked to be guest designer this week for STAMPlorations!"


And here are projects that the STAMPlorations design team created based on the sketch. We hope our projects inspire you and we’re excited to see your interpretations!
