The way you're linking is fine, though if you add
rel="cc:morePermissions" to the '+' link, the CC deed should pick that
up and add a link back to your share page. Click on the license
button on http://magnatune.com/artists/albums/ejp-gratis/ to see how
it works (the "permissions beyond" part is based on info found on the
Magnatune page, as is the attribution part).
Personally I suspect Sketchory would be more successful just using CC
BY, but this is an interesting experiment. I hope you can report back
at some point on deals done with users of >5000 sketches.
