CAS(E) this Sketch! Challenge #3

We're already on challenge #3, time just seems to be flying by. It must be because we're having so much FUN!!! Here's a sketch that can be interesting for those of you who like to add a simple layer to your CAS cards. You could get creative and turn this into a 1 layer card by using some inking, masking or embossing techniques. We can't wait to see what you'll come up with!

Now it's time to be inspired by the FANTASTIC cards from the Design Team!

WOW, we're almost speechless about the participation in our very first challenge! We could have never imagined that there would be 113 fabulous submissions!!!

We're looking forward to seeing your interpretation of this week's sketch! Let the CAS(E)-ing begin!!!

For this first challenge I'll be adding the rules of how to play along. In future challenges I'll just add a link to the How to Play page. If you've never heard of the acronyms CAS or CASE you can find a definition of them on the Definition of CAS and CASE page.

• Create a new, not previously posted CAS card.

• You can submit multiple cards but they must be posted to InLinkz separately.

• Please use the sketch provided. Feel free to change the orientation of the sketch.

• You can combine up to 3 other challenges.

• If you have a blog please include the sketch graphic in your post.

• You can link to a Flickr, Splitcoast or other online gallery if you don't have a blog.

• You must have a working text link to CAS(E) this Sketch! to be eligible for a win.

• Link to your post and not to your entire blog when adding your project to InLinkz.

• Please consider adding the CAS(E) this Sketch! badge to your blog.

• Most importantly have FUN!

In order to make the challenge as fair as possible every player must follow the rules. If your entry does not, it may not be eligible for a win and may be removed from InLinkz line up. Thank you.

Helpful Tips: The sketches are CAS and open to interpretation. For example; your take can be literal, you can use a circle, if there's a circle in the sketch, or incorporate a circular shape such as a flower, button or sun, etc. You can also turn the sketch so it's horizontal. Circular and square cards are also welcome. You're free to use a sentiment or not. Get creative, the sketches are a general guideline. As long as we can see the main elements in their approximate position and it's a CAS card, you're eligible for a win.

Please consider turning off your word verification.
