 Welcome to our two part post.

**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, April 24 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #365 -Visual Prompt - Sketch - found HERE. Currently, we have 8 sensational sketches in the gallery. If you've joined us already, thank you (and please feel free to join again); if you haven't, we'd love for you to do so. Let's see if we can quadruple that number before the challenge closes. 

Second, we had 40 wonderful entries for Challenge #364 - CAS, with the optional twist of *E is for...* We very much enjoyed seeing your wonderful clean and simple designs, both with and without the twist.

As always, narrowing down our Top Picks was a challenge. Your creativity, craftsmanship and thoughtful interpretations make the process both inspiring and delightfully difficult.

Our Top Picks:

Darnell

Darnell's watercoloured poppy is striking, especially surrounded by all that fabulous white space. CAS loveliness.

Arlene

Arlene's card - designed for her Disney-loving friend - is sure to light up her eyes when she receives it. Clean, simple and delightfully special.

Maria

Maria's fluffy-tailed bunny is adorable, especially paired with rainbow stripes. Clean, simple and sweet.

Bobby

Bobby's daisies certainly have star billing on her white stage. Clean, simple and striking.

Inkspirational Challenge #365 - Visual Prompt - Sketch

Welcome to Inkspirational — we’re so glad you’re here!

For the next two weeks (April 11–24), we invite you to get creative with our Visual Prompt: SKETCH. It’s been five years since our last sketch challenge, so we’re excited to bring one back

This design is simple and flexible. Feel free to adapt it to suit your style — your card base doesn’t need to be square and the smaller shapes in the lower right can be any shape you like. As long as your project captures the essence of the sketch, you’re all set!

Inspiration from the Design Team:

Marlena

Pia

Julia

Carol

We look forward to a gallery filled with your interpretations of the sketch!

The Link will be open until Friday, April 24 @ 11:59pm (EST).

We'll be back on Saturday, April 18 with a reminder post and Top Picks for Challenge #365. 

Top Picks Challenge #363 and Reminder Post - Challenge #364 - Word Prompt - CAS (Optional Twist: E is for...)

  Welcome to our two part post.

**First, a reminder that you have until Friday, April 10 at 11:59 pm (GMT) to play in Challenge #364 -  Word Prompt - CAS, with the Optional Twist of *E is for...* - found HERE. Currently, we have 20 beauties in the gallery. If you've joined us already, thank you (and please feel free to join again); if you haven't, we'd love for you to do so.

Second, we had 20 wonderful entries for our March Mood Board. We very much enjoyed seeing your various interpretations.

As always, narrowing down our Top Picks was a challenge. Your creativity, craftsmanship and thoughtful interpretations make the process both inspiring and delightfully difficult.

Our Top Picks:

Cassandra

Cassandra's card is a work of art featuring the 6 prompts suggested on the main challenge blog. Her combination of embossing, water colouring, horseshoes + clovers makes this a most striking "lucky" card.

Kathy S.

Kathy has created a delightful, fun die-cut filled card for her dog, who's birthday is on St. Patrick's Day.  She clearly drew plenty of inspiration from the mood board.

Arnoldo

Arnoldo's Easter eggs - designed for his grandsons - draw from several elements of the mood board: green, repeating shapes, botanicals and artistic backgrounds.  We're sure his grandsons will be smiling all over their faces when they receive these personalized eggs. Treasures, for sure!
