Now for the Challenge details!
We want to see how you lovely lot tackle a technique showcased in Craft
Stamper
magazine.
Paula Whittaker has shared three fabulous projects using different splatter techniques, on pages 80/1
of the current issue of Craft Stamper (November 2013 issue). Don't
panic if you haven't got hold of this issue yet, the
challenge lasts for a good few weeks, so you have plenty of time to grab
a copy, get inspired and enter!
So, we would love to see your creations using a splatter technique!......your
project can
be anything at all, card, layout, 3D item etc, any theme or colour, AS
LONG AS YOU HAVE USED SPLATTERING ON THERE SOMEWHERE!
Oh, and stamping too, this is a
Craft Stamper challenge after all!
You
DO NOT have to use the techniques showcased by Paula, (although you could
if you wanted) As long as you use splatters somewhere, somehow, you're
in!
To give you a little inspiration, some of the Craft Stamper Design Team have
come up with some rather fabulous projects to share... (if you click on the
artists name, it will take you to their blogs, where there may well be loads
more pics of these gorgeous creations!)

challenge is included in your blog post.
- The sixth challenge will
be announced here on Friday December 13th 2013.
PLEASE consider turning off word verification on your
blog. It is very difficult for the DT to comment on as many blogs as we would
like to when word verification slows us down!
