It's time for the March sketch challenge! Although this is the second challenge, this is the first on here on el Blog. I challenge you to make a card using this layout:
The card challenge is intended to be an exercise in creativity that will stimulate and challenge you while giving you a fun excuse to make a card. No card police will show up at your door if you colour outside of the lines.
I had a lot of questions last time about what's "legal" in the challenge, so I'll try to set some ground rules before we get started this time.
- Please follow the spirit of the layout (appropriately shaped pieces in roughly the same sizes/spots). It doesn't have to be perfect, but don't deviate wildly.
- You can embellish as you see fit. Add layers. Add mats. Add brads or ribbon. The sketch is just your starting point.
- Send me a photo of your finished card. I don't want the card - just the photo.
- Please list the Stampin' Up! products you use (yes, you can use contraband products from the M store, but isn't the Stampin' Up! stuff nicer?)
- All photo submissions are due on March 18.
Why bother? Well, you get some practice. You get a nice layout for free. You get to see a bunch of different samples using that layout to give you some new ideas. And you get an excuse to make more cards (because we all need another excuse).
Start cutting! I can't wait to see what you come up with.

addendum: Here are the finished submissions.
