Craft a Scene: Challenge #2

Last month we had 88 wonderful entries to our anything goes challenge and we introduced our first design team. This month our design team brings you amazing inspiration to kick off challenge #2 - Winter Scenes.

Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to create a winter scene with scenic stamps. If you are not sure what we mean by scenic stamps you can check out our new tab "Scenic Stamps" where we have listed several companies with links to their stores. These are not the only companies to use, but it is a good representation of what we are looking for.

Now for the design team inspiration. When you click the link to the design teams web sites you will find instructions on how to create their wonderful projects.

Lisa - Lisa's Paper Fun

Anja - Stamping Anja

Kittie - Kittie Kraft

Sheree - Vancouver Island Craft Junkie

Olga - Craftie o Damae

Sandy - Creative Moments With Sandy

Shaz - Silver Wolf Cards

These projects are simple amazing! Send our wonderful design team a little love and show your appreciation for the wonderful projects they have for us this month.

Ok, now it is your turn! The challenge starts today and goes until 6:00 PM Pacific on Friday, March 2nd. Please link directly to your project post (not your generic blog address). Your project must be new (no backlinking) and it must be of a winter scene. Don't forget, you may enter up to three times!

We will be back next Sunday with more inspiration.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Purpose

This is a special focus challenge blog that provides an opportunity for paper craft designers to showcase their scenic crafting. We especially love Stampscapes, Sutter and Beeswax stamps and will showcase techniques and tutorials using these wonderful stamps.

However, there are lots of companies that provide images for background scenes and it is okay to use any of them. You may also draw or paint in your own scene background.

As long as your project is finished (no ATCs or unfinished cards), and has background AND foreground images you meet the first challenge criteria.

Challenge Guidelines

1. Have fun and make a new finished project. No back-linking! Your project must be completed whether it is a card, box, tag, scrapbook page or whatever (no ATC's or unmounted sheets).

2. You may create and enter up to three projects for each challenge.

3. Your project must have a scene! This means there are background AND foreground elements. We are focused on the scene not cute characters.

4. Follow any additional challenge criteria for the month.

5. You must link back to this blog in your post. Please become a follower and add our badge to your blog. If you do not have a blog you may link from private forums like Split Coast Stampers or Crafters Cafe, or send me a picture of your project and I will add it to the challenge.
