1st Annual Ultimate Card Showdown

Week 1

Welcome to the 2 Sketches 4 You Ultimate Card Showdown. We are celebrating our 1st Anniversary and wanted you all to join in on the fun and festivities as we say thank you to one and all for an amazing year. In honor of our 1st year Annivesary we are teaming up with some of the biggest names in the crafting industry to bring to you a Card Challenge 2 Sketches style: A card challenge so big, so wonderful and so exciting, filled to the brim with sketches, cards, inspiration, anticipation and PRIZES that will change the way you make cards 4 eva!

*Grand Prize*
Over $500 in products from the following sponsors...
( for a detailed description of all the prizes, please see HERE)



Top 30 finalists will receive prizes from the following sponsors...





How to get started..
Create the most stunning card ever based on Laura's sketch. Take a beautiful clear picture of your card and post it on your blog, website or public gallery THEN hop on over here and link up your card using MR. LINKY!

How much time do you have...
One week! Have your card linked through Mr. Linky by Midnight Saturday June 6 (that is U.S. Mountain Time).

What happens next...
Our wonderful Judges (past and present 2 Sketches 4 You Design Team Members) are going to pick their favorite TOP 30 cards. They will secretly email us their choices and we will announce those finalists on Sunday June 7 right here together with Card of the Week and the Fab 5! and the Sakura Random Prize Winner of the Week.  The Top 30 Finalists will also receive their exclusive Sketch to be completed by the following week. The winner of Card of the Week will get the prize donated by the Sponsor of that Week. Oh yes did we tell you that the Sponsors will be giving us their input on the Cards so be sure to visit their websites *wink-wink*.

Monday is a BIG day...
On Monday June 8th we will bring you another sketch and a fab NEW Sponsor. This is a great opportunity to play along and be eligable to win fantastic prizes from our Sponsors for Card of the Week or to have your name highlighted as the Fab 5! At the end of the week we will announce the TOP 20 finalists (from the 30 finalists previously chosen) that are advancing to the next round and also our Card of the Week Winner,  Fab 5! and the Sakura Random Prize Winner of the Week

I've been having fun with this challenge. This patriotic soldier card started out with pinks and browns and ended up with this. Don't ask me how my mind works!?!

I used the Stars in place of the scalloped edge and placed the eagle on two sets of foam dimensionals.
