Take It Make It Challenge : June!

Hello!

Welcome to the launch of our June Challenge!

As you might remember, this year our challenge is alternating between 'Take A Stamp', and 'Take A Technique'....and this month our challenge is 'Take A Technique'!
The latest issue of Craft Stamper (in fact ALL the issues of Craft Stamper!) contains lots and lots of wonderfully textured projects, so this is the theme for this month....

June Challenge:

'Take A Technique' 
TEXTURE
(and remember you MUST use a stamp somewhere on your project!)

Texture can mean lots of different things, so show us how creative you can be! You could use texture pastes, embossing pastes or embossing powders. You could use textured cardstock or embossing folders. You could add stitching or multiple layers of embellishments. Anything that gives your work that 'touchy feely' vibe!

Show us how unique you can be...get your stamps out and share your cards, journal pages, layouts, 3D assemblage or whatever else takes your fancy!

*** Sadly, quite a few entries last month did not follow the guidelines, so they could not be considered for a prize. PLEASE remember to only include just the one project in your blog posts, we just want to see the project you are entering, no others! Full guidelines can be found underneath the banner at the top of the page.***

We have two prizes on offer this month, the first is our sponsor prize.This winner will be chosen randomly from all of the entries in the challenge! The sponsor for June is

Rubber Dance Art Stamps

Rubber Dance carry an amazing range of wonderful stamps, you really need to check them out if you haven't already!

The prize this month is a voucher to spend in the shop....

I have spent many a happy hour browsing through the Rubber Dance stamp selection... and I'm sure the lucky winner will too!

Our second winner is our Design Winner. This winner is chosen by our DT, who all vote for their favourite design from all of the entries. This winner will have their winning project published in Craft Stamper Magazine, (with a 2 page spread of their very own!), they will have a GDT slot for an upcoming challenge, and will also feature in their very own Winners Profile blog post! 

I hope the prizes have given you all an incentive to win...... and how about some eye candy from the DT to give you some beautifully stamped and textured inspiration!
