If you'd like to change it up and do graduated squares, or even flowers - go for it!
The card sketch is simple yet elegant:

Why don't you try getting out some of your stamps and stamping a little scene for the large image, or you could use a favorite photo of yours printed in black & white or sepia tones, then add a pop of color with your sentiment. I think the possibilities are endless!
Put those crafty thinking caps on and get to work! The deadline for January's sketches is January 31, 2012 at 12 midnite Eastern time. Post your entry in the gallery and don't forget to leave a link on this post. Can't wait to see these!
