March Sketch Challenge

Hi and a very warm welcome to you. Our aim at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, is to have our Christmas cards made long before the Christmas festivities begin, so that when the time comes, we can relax and enjoy the holidays. So with that in mind, it's time for a brand new challenge!

Our hostess this month is Gill, and she will be designing all the challenges for March. This week, she has created a sketch featuring a traditional layout which you are free to interpret with your own creativity and flare.  You can use any label and embellishment of your choosing.

We hope you can join in the fun this week - we would love to see your creations.

Here's some inspiration from the Design Team to get you started ...

We hope that you will join us!!

February Stash Challenge

Hello!  Here at 52CCT we're wrapping up the month of February with a stash challenge, where we ask our challenge participants to use something from their stash of craft supplies to create a Christmas or winter card.  We're hoping this one will prove to be fairly easy for many of you:

There are so many different ways to use markers!  You can color an outline image with them, use them to ink up a stamp in several different colors, or create backgrounds with them.  You can use alcohol-based markers or water-based.  There are lots of possibilities, so let your creativity be your guide!

Let's check out what the Design Team has done with their markers:

Tanja

Fabiola

Gill

Louise

Deborah

Danielle

Please make sure to follow these rules when you play along with us here at 52{C}CT  :)

 Please read the challenge requirements carefully before creating your card.  
We will never delete any submissions that do not follow our challenge rules; 
however, only cards that meet the requirements will be considered by the Design Team
 for our weekly Top Honors and Honorable Mention voting.

We are a Christmas card challenge.  Please only post Christmas or winter related cards.

Please link back to our blog in your post so that others can join in the fun.

Please make sure to link to your blog post, not to your entire blog.

We would love it if you added our blog button to your blog's sidebar.

Please make sure not to back link.  Your card should not be older than this post.

In order to be considered for Top Honor or Honorable Mention, you must link your card by 
Friday at midnight GMT/7:00 p.m. Eastern time.

You are welcome to combine this challenge with up to 10 other challenges.

We would really appreciate it if you'd turn off word verification so that we can comment more easily on your cards!  We realize a lot of you use it for safety reasons.
We do our best to leave comments for each of our challenge participants; 
however, trying to figure out those letters and numbers can be very frustrating!
We strongly suggest using comment moderation as a friendlier alternative.
