Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge # 62 (Hammie Coffee and Tea)

Hello and welcome to another week of the Your Next Stamp sketch/colour challenge #62. 

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!

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

This week I dug into my stamp stash and grabbed the sweet Hammie Coffee and Tea, to go along with the fabulous new Crazy for Coffee paper. If you haven't figured out, my inspiration was once again the sketch. These are usually my favourite to work with. I really like finding ways to adapt the sketch and show how you can draw inspiration and still make it your own!

YNS Supplies: Hammie Coffee and Tea, Crazy for Coffee Paper, Almond Latte and Black Olive Ink, Stitched Rectangle Die, Love Me Some Latte Gumdrops

For the sketch/colour challenge #62, you will have until Thursday April 27th (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 #62 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!

Your Next Stamp Colour/Sketch Challenge # 23

Welcome to our sketch and colour challenge #23 at Your Next Stamp. Each challenge includes a sketch and colour options to inspire you.

Create a project based on the sketch and/or the colour combination. If you are working with the colours use at least 3 of the colours and you can add only neutrals.
 
Sketches are a great source of inspiration. When I use a sketch, unless I am really stuck, I try to challenge myself to make that sketch my own. Whether is using different shapes, images or orientations, sketches are so much fun.

For this challenge I used the sketch with only a few of my personal alterations. I inked up the super cute Hammie Coffee and Tea cutting the image out using the matching die. I then add a little splatter using the Mini Ink Splatter.

The paper is Basic Grey Hipster. I really love the already distressed look of this paper. It  works well for a coffee themed card.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Supplies Used:
Stamp: Hammie Coffee and Tea and Mini Ink Splatter (Your Next Stamp)
Dies: Hammie Coffee and Tea, Circle (Your Next Stamp)
Paper: Basic Grey Hipster

For our sketch and colour challenge # 23 you have until October 1, 2015 (midnight) to play along. You can see more inspiration and link up your projects over at Your Next Stamp.

One random participant will WIN a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature a YNS stamp or die (must be the main focal point) you will receive and additional $5. When you use a YNS image there is also a chance of being selected as a YNS Top Pick. That's right, bragging rights for you and a fabulous badge to show off on your blog! Sounds exciting right? Ink up your stamps and show us your crafty stuff!

Have a fabulous and crafty Friday friends!
