Today, it's time for the Sketch Challenge Blog Hop!

Hi, it's me, Ellen, with another guest designer post for Jennifer ...

Today, Jennifer is hosting another Sketch Challenge Blog Hop.

Jennifer started doing these sketch challenges a while ago, and everyone's had so much fun that she's turned it into a regular event. 


The purpose of this hop is to show how all of these talented bloggers can take the same sketch and come up with totally different cards.

Above left, you'll see the sketch challenge Jennifer provided to us.  I will post the card I made for the sketch challenge on my site (http://cardmonkey-business.blogspot.com), so you'll just have to hop over there to see what I made.

But not to leave you high and dry here, I'd like to show a few pictures I pinned at PINTEREST to help inspire the vertical stripe theme:

Look at how close this is to the Sketch challenge,
with the bushes as the 4 vertical stripes and
the planters as the horizontal stripe, the chair
as the embellishment

Luscious looking in fun colors you wouldn't
expect to see together.

More lusciousness! (I am getting hungry!)

Do these stripes make my hips look thinner?
Again, horizontal stripe at the moldings.

That's putting your thinking cap on!

An unexpected illusion!

Stripes as a central design element.

If you've never used a card sketch before, give it a try! Be sure to check back on Saturday, as there will be some bloggers posting new cards on Day 2.

So grab a cup of coffee (or whatever your pleasure), and Hop on over to these blog sites to see how others have interpreted the Sketch:
