January Fan Club Challenges

On the fifteenth of each month, the Splitcoast Fan Club gallery is unveiled with lots of fantastic artwork created by very talented artists. They've also begun issuing challenges! Now, I love a challenge, as I'm sure you know by now. I find that they give me the jumping point that I need. There's always 5 different challenges. One on the Central Theme, a "More is More" Challenge, a sketch, a product based challenge, and an inspiration challenge. You can combine them all if you want. Anyways, I felt like doing them separate this time.

Fan Club Sketch Challenge

The first card is for the sketch challenge. You know, I don't think I've ever posted a card on my blog that is this size! It will fit in those regular long envelopes, so it's dimensions are 3.5" x 8.5". The colours do fit in with the inspiration challenge a little as well, but I was going by my current pack of DSP, Le Jardin (sick of it yet?).
