Winners for Challenge #302 - Build with the Basics

Our sketch challenges aim to give you a framework to enhance your creativity! We love seeing what you do with each element of the sketch and how creatively you fill the requirements of the challenge! This week, we had some really unique designs, including Santa on a waterslide!!

Let me introduce you to our winners! Here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Erin T.

Those big, bold, red polka dots were the perfect backdrop for Erin's beautifully blended stencil of fruit for her focal point! The white oval with the unusual border and the torn vellum strip for the vertical element gave a space for the fruit to live in without overburdening the background design and they worked perfectly together. A beautiful card, congratulations, Erin!

Our Featured Artist is: Tenia Nelson

I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream! Especially on a CAS card with a gorgeous colour palette! That lovely royal blue strip with the pleats starts by giving a crisp background against the white card base. Then check out the pastel pink circle background accentuated by the paper piercings around its edges. The focal point, the ice cream cone itself, looks good enough to eat, it's so masterfully coloured! Add a few perfectly placed sequins and Tenia's signature staples and it's a Featured Artist's dream indeed!

Challenge #302 - Build with the Basics

This next sketch challenge is a beauty! I've titled it Build with the Basics because it's simple but there's so much you can do with it. A circle in the center and a rectangle or stripe down the middle: that's the basics, right? This was designed by Team Member Jan, who is really good at coming up with sketches that allow the maximum freedom and creativity.

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

And how did the Design Team build with the basics? Check out their projects:

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 #AYSI302 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

• You can combine our challenge with up to 3 other compatible challenges.*
• We do reserve the right to delete, or not consider, entries that do not comply with these guidelines.*
