Challenge #21 - 19 Jan 2009 - Colour Challenge

Hello and welcome back to the House Mouse and Friends Challenge! I hope you all had fun producing all those wonderful ATC's last week.

Our challenge this week is a color challenge:

Cameo Coral (a slight peachy pink)
Old Olive (a rich olive green)
Night of Navy (navy blue in its finest!)

I have listed the colors using Stampin' Up! colors, just because that is common on Splitcoast, however, ANY brand that matches closely is fine for the challenge. HERE OR HERE (the second one is perhaps a little truer color) are places to find what they look like so you can match what you have with these. You can also use any neutrals (as in gray and brown to color the Mousies, Hoppers, or Gruffies! - and white or vanilla), but please have some of all three colors on your card somewhere (solid paper, ink, designer paper, embellishments).Have fun with the "challenge"!

We also have a wonderful prize package up for grabs for you this week thanks to our sponsor TheRubberCafe.com. One lucky person will win the House Mouse Stamp Glitter Hearts (so perfect for Valentine's Day) and a jar of Shimmerz Paints in the limited edition color Wintergreen Bling.

Here is a bit about our sponsor TheRubberCafe.com:

The Rubber Cafe has fantastic prices and low shipping charges (including internationally) on all your stamping needs. We have a large selection of stamps including House Mouse, Happy Hoppers and Gruffies, and also sell stamping accessories and tools including Copic Markers, Shimmerz Paints, Glimmer Mists, and Scor-Pal products.

Here's what our lovely DT have produced and don't forget to check out their blogs for more details!!

Challenge #20 - 12 Jan 2009 - An ATC

Welcome back everyone. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. Thank you to everyone who joined in our last challenge. A winner will be announced tomorrow so please check back to see who the lucky person is. Apologies also for my lack of comments on your beautiful work, I am so busy here with everything (just check out how neglected my own blog is......lol) So!! Are you all ready to get crafting yet?? If so then why not take part in this nice easy challenge to get you started.

Our challenge this week is :~

To make an Artist Trading Card, otherwise known as an ATC. ATC's are little cards, similar to a baseball card. The only standard requirement for an ATC is that its height and width measurements be 2.5" x 3.5" (64 x 89 mm), either vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape) orientation. The sky is the limit for every other aspect of the art.

Please read THIS info if you want to know more on the background of ATCs. For a cutting guide, click HERE.

Here's what our lovely DT have produced and don't forget to check out their blogs for more details!!
