Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge # 63 (

Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp sketch/colour challenge #63. 

Every two weeks, there is a new challenge that features a sketch and colour inspiration. Pick the one that inspires you most, or try both for an added challenge. The best part of these challenges is you could win a gift certificate to the YNS store!

 hen using the colour inspiration, you must use at least 3 colours. You may also add neutrals 

This week I used the darling Scratch Pad and played along with the sketch. Of course my card would not be complete without using my newest favourite paper. That would be the YNS Hugs and Kisses paper. Seriously this pad of paper has everything I love!

For the sketch/colour challenge #63, you will have until Thursday May 11th (midnight EST) to play along. Head over to the Your Next Stamp blog for more inspiration and to link up your creation.

One random participant will win a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature YNS products (it must be the main focus of your project), you will receive an additional $5. When you use a YNS stamp/die, there is a chance of being selected as the YNS top pick. The winner and top pick are announced on the YNS blog, the Sunday after the close of the challenge.

If you use YNS products on your project, you can also take part in the YNS Social Media challenge. Simply showcase your YNS sketch/colour challenge #63 project on Instagram, Splitcoast Stampers or Facebook. Check out the currently challenge post at the YNS blog for more details on the social media challenge.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

If there is a coffee related stamp, I will usually be there ready to ink it up. The fabulous Coffee Chick stamp is no exception!!! I am pretty sure that sentiment applies to me. I love the new Cool Tags Four dies and of course there is also the amazing Crazy for Coffee paper.
