HLS March Mixed Media Challenge

Welcome back to Happy Little Stampers!

Wow, what a turn out last month for our challenges and in particular the Mixed Media Challenge. We LOVED your entries and want them to keep on coming! 

Any style is welcome. You can make ANYTHING you like as long as it is mixed media (stamps + ink, plus two other elements which add texture and/or dimension) and follows our monthly theme.

This month we want you to work with -

That's right - get our your mini misters, spray bottles and brushes. You must have water on your project whether is is combing it with paint or just combining drips of water over distress ink. If it reacts/works with water - use it!

OR

a water theme

If you play along in any of our challenges this month, you have the chance to win!

(You don't have to use HLS products to enter)

We have an amazing Guest Designer with us this month - Autum from Sew Paper Paint is joining our talented design team to help inspire you with your mixed media creations.

Here we go!

Before you get started -

Have you seen our Pre-Birthday Celebrations? Over at Facebook, we are celebrating our Birthday - it's not until April but we wanted to start early. There are prizes up for grabs and all you have to do is enter a birthday themed card/tag/atc/layout (anything really!) by clicking HERE. You don't even have to use HLS products but if you do that would be awesome!

If you don't 'do' facebook, please email your entry to me at kyliepurtell@gmail.com and I will add it for you :)

We can't wait to see your Mixed Media creations -
