Every now and then I like to offer up a challenge on my blog, just for fun! Here's a sketch challenge for you!
Create a card using this layout. Your images, colors, etc are up to you! (The squares on my card are all 2.25" square, but you could use any size.)
For my card, I chose to use this cutie of a stamp by Stampendous. The image is colored with Copic markers.
If you're up for the challenge, post your card to your gallery, blog, or photo hosting site and leave a link to your card in a comment on this post. It'll be fun to see what you come up with.
If you happen to upload your project to SplitCoastStampers, use keyword SMDSC02 so we can find all the sketch challenge cards! Hope you can play!

I finally got the chance to use this wonderful sketch! Thanks so much Anna! Here's mine...
