Onto the challenge! This fortnight's sketch (#21) has been designed by Maggie:

You can rotate the sketch, resize the elements, and add to the sketch, but remember we must be able to recognise the original layout. And don't forget - you must use stamping somewhere!

Our sponsors this fortnight are Whimsy Stamps, and one lucky winner will receive a US$15 gift certificate to spend in their online store.

Whimsy Stamps is home to exclusive rubber stamps, designed with a spirit of creativity and whimsy by our talented artists. All of our stamps are deeply etched red rubber mounted on cling cushion foam and arrive to you untrimmed. Once trimmed they work perfectly with your acrylic blocks. We currently have 4 different collections of stamps; The Crissy Armstrong Collection for Whimsy Stamps, our Animals Collection designed by Katie Sowa, our Kids Collection designed by Whimsy Design Studio, and our Sentiments Collection designed by Raindrop Echo Designs and Whimsy Design Studio.

Now, here are the design team's cards to inspire you!
