Welcome to As You Like It Challenge

Our fortnightly challenge is a home for you to create something

CHALLENGE RULES:

Usually we provide 2 or more contrasting options for you to choose from.

Join us by using your favourite option within your creation.

To be eligible to win our prize, or top-3 spot,

you must explain why you've made your choice,

so we can appreciate why you're proud of your creation!

eg, if the theme is 'favourite animal' and you decide on 'rabbits',

maybe the reason is that you love Thumper, the bunny from Bambi !

So get crafting and remember the main requirement in creating is

And, because I can never be trusted to conform to the rulebook when I'm in charge of the top picks, I have a 4th 'top 3' this week - I have long wanted to try Acrylic Pouring, so my last top pick is this amazing open cup pour. There were others on the blogpost so do pop over to take a peek as they're all amazing!

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using

Your Favourite Sketch / Layout (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

My favourite card layout is cover a square base card with two pretty patterned papers top & bottom. I cover the join with some ribbon and add a double bow at the side. Often the image is die cut into a circle, and I'll add a posy of flowers on the diagonals. The final touch is a trio of pearls in the opposite diagaonal corners. I've used this sketch many many times, and still love the layout because it gives lots of interest, texture and embellishment to frame the image.

Brenda

This is one of my favorite sketches. I like it because itʻs not to fussy, but still interesting. To be honest, it also gave me a chance to use the stitched fishtail dies I had to have and have probably used twice in the last 10 years.

Elaine

I often use a vertical strip down the left side of my card with and image or embellishment in the centre. It is one of my go to layouts which always looks pleasing.

Larissa

I really love making clean and simple cards and I am not really good with using patterned papers, so I often use this sketch in some way. It has a strip of patterned paper on the side (or bottom) and then I add a large piece of cardstock, that most of the times is white. It is a simple way to use patterned paper and there is still lots of room for the image.
