Winners for Challenge #231 - Both Sides of the Story

We loved what you did with our sketch last week and we know it was a challenging one, so great job if you took it on and submitted an entry! Glad to hear your "side of the story"! We love variety of interpretations! The entries were all super as usual, but here are our winners:

Our Top Pick is: Cindi Copeland

Cindi's card shows how well suited this sketch is for a masculine design. She's used clean lines and angles, strong colours and a simple sentiment to make a very pleasing masculine birthday card. We loved the contrast between the argyle and plaid designer papers and the knotted twine added a great masculine embellishment!

Our Featured Artist is: Jaydee 

Jaydee combined two very different but beautiful stamp sets to create this imaginative take on our sketch. We love that the adorable and brightly coloured birds were the divider over the script layer and that the stylized sun perfectly compliments the background paper and the background wash! So cool! If you pop over to her blog, you'll see what else she's done with her envelope! Thanks for sharing the sunshine, Jaydee!

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their site:

Challenge #231 - Both Sides of the Story

It's time for another Sketch Challenge here at As You See It and Design Team member Joanne has come up with an interesting sketch that can be interpreted so many different ways! You could tuck a panel between twin slits in the background, you could use a sentiment banner as the dividing arm, you could use a design element of some kind as the divider, you could make a double shaker compartment behind it... There are just so many ways of looking at this! The Design Team can hardly wait to see what you do with it! Remember there are at least two sides to every story, and usually more than that!

Feel free to rotate or flip the sketch, just keep the integrity of it, so we can recognize it. 

What side of the story is the Design Team showing us this time?

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
• Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch and to substitute one   shape for another but we must still be able to see the sketch   in your finished submission.
• Please include the challenge graphic and link back to the   challenge in your blog post. Turn off word verification so we   can send you lots of feedback. Make sure you link the post not the whole blog to the Linky. Use #AYSI231 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
