    Polka Dot Paradise Color Challenge

    Polka Dot Paradise Color Challenge Information

    Create a paper craft project using the above colors and a polka dot pattern.  Upload a photo of your project to your blog or online gallery, such as Splitcoaststampers, Flickr, or Papertrey Ink, then copy the direct link to your project to the Mr. Linky widget below.  If you do not have a direct link to your blog/gallery posting that features the challenge, your link may be deleted.  If it is deleted, no biggie, just come back and re-link the correct link!  Only links left in the Mr. Linky widget will be considered for challenge submissions.

    For this challenge, make sure you use all of the colors as well as a polka dot pattern in your project.  If you want additional direction on the actual colors, Papertrey Ink’s vintage cream, summer sunrise, orange zest, and scarlet jewel are sample hues for this challenge.  Feel free to use other manufacturers, such as Stampin’ Up!’s very vanilla, summer sun, pumpkin pie, and bravo burgundy.

    If you want to use the graphic above, feel free to, but make sure your right-click and choose the “Save Image As” choice to save it to your computer, then upload to your blog!  What do you think about the photo?  Would you like to learn more about the floral embellishment?  If so, let us know and a photo tutorial can be available to you next week!  We’d love to hear what you think about the first blog challenge, so leave us a comment!  We enjoy reading them.

    The challenge will end Thursday, October 1, 2009 10:00 PM EST.
