This weeks challenge is to use colors that remind you of Fall and to use only 2 embellishments. Your image does not have to be a Fall image, although it can, just use colors that remind you of Fall. The limited embellishments will make sure that Mo's fabulous image is the main focal point of the card.
There have been some questions about embellishments so I will try to explain what I consider embellishments. They are anything you can hold in your hand; flowers (no matter how many), ribbon, gems (no matter how many), stickers, each of these counts as one embellishment. Now punched corners/borders or stitching are not considered embellishments as they are part of the card rather than an add-on. I hope this clears it up.
We are all still learning the ropes of running a challenge blog. I am the hostess for the month of October and I promise I will get better as the challenges progress. Sandy
The winner, to be chosen by Random.org, will win a free image of their choice from Mo's Digital Pencil The challenge will end on Wednesday, October 21st. The winner will be announced before the next challenge is posted.
We have set some challenge rules, they are listed on the right sidebar so please follow them closely. We hope you will join in on the fun. Be sure to add a link to Mr. Linky at the bottom of the page (to your blog post, not your main blog)

Great challenge this week Sandy.I just love the colors of Fall. It was difficult to decide which image to use. The team did a great job.
ReplyDeleteFabulous creations DT!! Thanks for the fun challenge!!
ReplyDeleteoh wow-what inspiration! LOVE all the designer's cards :o)
ReplyDeleteI could just come here to drool over everyone's beautiful cards and awesome coloring technique! I'll try to keep it a little less messy, though, and just leave a link to my card ;) .

gosh, after I made my card (late, as usual - grins!) I come over to post and see that I forgot all about the limited embellies..... sheesh..... I am the Queen Goober! hope my 2 buttons and trim don't throw me off for the count. sorry if using the 2 buttons does. I was so anxious to carve out time to play that I forgot to check all of the requirements for the week.
ReplyDeletemaybe NEXT CHALLENGE I'll have my head screwed on tighter! :D
