Pals Paper Arts challenge number 7 is up and ready for you to play!
This weeks challenge is a sketch challenge. Our sketches are all designed by Margaret Moody. It's a good one, don't you think?
The rules are simple:
- Create using the sketch provided above
- Upload your card to Pals Paper Arts by Tuesday, September 15 (Noon CST)
- If you upload to an online gallery, enter PPA7 in the keyword section
- Most importantly ... play, play, play!
You'll notice that for my card today, I simply flipped the sketch on its side. That is the whole intention of sketches - they are open for creative interpretation!
I used a bunch of new goodies on this card - including the Woodgrain background stamp and Extreme Elements stamp set. I absolutely love the possibilities this set holds.
These graphic images allow for some stamping fun. I used the same set, Extreme Elements (item #115181, set of 6, $26.95) on my Pretty in Pink card that I posted yesterday.
While this set seemed very "masculine" to me at first, I quickly realized that it can be used for girlie or gender neutral creations too.
Prepare to see many more creations using this funky stamp set. I even used this set digitally using My Digital Studio on one of my digital scrapbook pages that you can see here (2nd page).
I hope you'll join the Pals Paper Arts design team and play along with our challenges. We are very excited to see your artwork.

I loved that you turned your card on the side for the sketch! I need to think more about that, myself!
