Challenge #23 - Recipe

Hello! Lisa Sparkle here!

Wow, what a fantastic set of entries we had for our Poppy challenge. Such stunning work, we've all had a fabulous time visiting all of your blogs, and we'll be back in a week or so to let you know who the winner is.

So....on to this fortnight's challenge- we've got something a little bit different for you this time. We'd like you to select some ingredients from our recipe bingo grid and make us something gorgeous! Take any three ingredients in a line, horizontally, vertically or diagonally and use them to make us a fabulous creation.

Blue
Embossing powder
Stitches (real or faux)
Torn/ripped
Ribbon
Red
Die cut
Homemade background (no patterned paper)
Sparkle and bling


You can use more than three if you want to, but you must use at least three that make
a line. So...... for example, Die cut- Ribbon- Stitches would be fine, as would Blue- Torn/ripped- Die cut, but Blue- Ribbon, Homemade background wouldn't make a line. It would be helpful if you'd tell us which line you've followed in your blog post.

As ever, there's a prize of a £10 gift voucher for the Stamp Man shop up for grabs, and all the details about how to enter can be accessed by the tab at the top of the page.

Our wonderfully talented design team have been busy making lots of inspiration for you.

Challenge # 22 - Poppy Challenge

Hello All - Janet here.

We were wowed by your resist entries - wasn't it a fab technique with so many mediums to explore? Thanks for playing along with us and do check back next Friday when the winners and top 5 are announced.

Now onto this weeks challenge which is to use a POPPY in your creation. Here in Skipton the British Legion are very active and my Husband is organising a fund raising concert on the 25th October. He asked me a while ago if I thought I could get some cards together to sell at the concert and Jill and Ian have so kindly allowed us to have a Poppy challenge week to try and get some more cards together. So this week we would like to see Poppies on your creations. If you would like to donate your creation to The concert here in Skipton you can post your work to The Stamp Man (address at the bottom of this post) but you are not obliged to - you can enter the challenge with any Poppy themed project and will be eligible for the prize and top places whether you send them in or not.
The team have been very creative with their projects so without further ado here is some inspiration.
