SDC93: Stencils



Hello! Jane here today and happy to be hosting this weeks' challenge at the Stampotique Dt challenge blog!  I have an incredible love for stencils like a lot of creative bloggers do these days!  I also think the images from Stampotique look awesome stamped over a stenciled back ground.  So, for this weeks' challenge I am asking you to pull out one of your favorite stencils and use it on your creation with a Stampotique image.


I can not wait to see what you create!


We also bid farewell to our latest guest designer, Belinda.  She's created some amazing pieces each week as part of our challenges and we appreciate having her on board.  Look to meet our new guest designer on the 1rst.

SDC91: Sketch



This week Maria is our hostess and she has created this fantastic sketch for us to work with.  It's a great starting point for a lot of stampers as it takes the guess work out of where to begin.

Can't wait to see how you use this sketch-you can flip it, rotate it, but the main elements should be visible on your creation.

SDC90: Song Inspiration

Sam is our hostess this week and here is what she has challenged the team (and you) with:

I have often been inspired by songs to create something, it could be the song title, the message behind the song or just a line of the song that resonates with me. So I'm excited to be inviting you to create anything that makes you smile using a song for your inspiration. There is no right there is no wrong it's just the way you sing your song!

Please remember you can use any stamps now for our challenge, but only one entry per person.  We will draw 2 random winners on the first week of our challenge in April from all those who played in the March challenges.

Please link DIRECTLY to your creation, not to your blog.  You MUST  include the challenge # (which can be found at the Stampotique Designer's Challenge blog) behind your name (any not linking directly to your creation AND having the challenge # will be deleted and not eligible for prize).   For example if I'm entering it would look like this- MYNAME-SDC73 (or whichever challenge # it is) . 

We ask that if you have comment verification turned on, that you would consider turning this on and doing comment moderation instead.  

Please use Inlinkz below to link up your challenge.  

**Change to Stampotique submission rules:  You will now have until the first challenge of the following month to submit your entries-we will only have one Inlinkz per month; so today marks the start of the challenges for March and it will run through the close of our last challenge for March which will be April 2, 2013 at noon ET**
