February Technique Challenge

 It's Lucinda here, with my last challenge this year as host of the challenge.

This was an easy choice for me as this is my favourite technique! I have chosen "Mixed Media" for us to play with this week.

Mixed media technically just means more than one medium - which could be ink and embossing powder. However, there is a certain broad mixed media style, which is loose and relaxed, with layers built up. So I encourage you to be more adventurous with your products. Layer up papers, inks, pastes, stencilling, stamping and embellishments. Experiment and see what happens!

February Theme Challenge

Hello again, from Lucinda.

It was wonderful to see the great colour challenge entries last week. We have already reached week three of February and our theme challenge.

This was the hardest challenge for me to decide on. I wanted something that would give a range of options for all card making styles, and that I thought would be fun to play with.

So, although we're a card challenge and don't allow tags as entries, this week I invite you to use tags on your cards. This could be in an image, a sentiment, a topper, or even a tag shaped card.




Here are our design team cards to hopefully get your creative juices flowing - pop by their blogs to leave some love!

February Colour Challenge

Hello, Lucinda here with you again.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful entries for our sketch challenge.

It's now time for a colour combination to inspire you.

The colours I have chosen for us to play with this week are pink, purple and blue. I wanted colours next to each other on the colour wheel to allow blending and mixing of colours if you want to play with those techniques. But of course, what you do with the colours is up to you!

These three colours must be used on your card. White, silver and a little black are also allowed if you wish to use them; no other colours can appear on your card.  


 
 
Our guest designer for this month's challenge is:



As always, our design team have created some beautiful cards to inspire you - do check out their blogs.
