  2. Hi Salma,
    The ideas mentioned are just that, ideas! They are meant to be a starting point for your creativity not necessarily followed to the letter. Creating a card to the overall theme though, is a requirement. So, for example, we don't want to see steampunk themes, or floral themes for this art call :)
    We only need to see the one picture.
    If your card is selected, we'll contact you for all the details we need!
    Thanks Salma, can't wait to see your submission :)

  3. Cool colours! Could you also please clarify the guidelines of the Ready, Set, Stamp category. This is supposed to be a quick-to-make card, right? But was it 10 or 20 minutes?
