Naughty Or Nice Challenge: Mixed Media

If you can believe it, we are on challenge number 6 already!! Last month's challenge was a hit and we thank you for playing along - winners will be announced shortly!! 

So I was thinking about this month's challenge as I was setting up my temporary craft-space and I now have two "zones", card-making, and mixed media. I think a lot of us are spending a little more $$ on paints and sprays and gesso etc, and I thought we should have a challenge to share all of our mixed media wonders! Remember, we're looking for Naughty AND Nice cards! 


I have a Nice one for you:

Check out what our other team members did: 





So what do we mean by Naughty or Nice? Well, take a look at your sentiment stamps - are there any in your collection that are kind of "off-color" or a little bit racy? Pair them with a seemingly innocent image and BAM! You've succeeded in being naughty. But for those of you who cannot find a devilish stamp that fits the bill, no worries - you could be nice and post a card with our theme and you will be fulfilling our challenge parameters too!

Challenge Rules and Guidelines: 
  • You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword NON6 so we can check out your beautiful work! You can also use online photo-sharing sites like Flickr to share your photos too! 
  • Please mention and link back to this post to let people know about this fun challenge!
  • Whether you are Naughty or Nice, we sure would appreciate cards made especially for this challenge, but if you really, really want to, please link a card that fits NO MORE THAN 5  CHALLENGES including ours! *changed it to allow more people to play along!! 
  • You have until the 25th of each month to submit your creations and then the DT will pick two winners, one for both Naughty and Nice

Challenge # 4 is here and I thought it would be fun to pull out all of those cute and "punny" animal stamps we have in our stash. I don't know about you, but whenever I give someone a card with a snarky sentiment paired with a cute image it gets a lot of laughs!
