November - Traditional Christmas Colours

Good morning and welcome to our November challenge and this month we are in Christmas mode with the theme of............

****Traditional Christmas Colours - Red, Green, Gold****

We would like to see one, two or a combination of all these colours on your creations and remember the focal element must be hand stamped and reflect the theme which for the avoidance of doubt is Christmas in red, green and gold. 

Please ensure you check our challenge rules here before entering, it may save you embarrassment and make sure your entry receives comments from the team and is entered into the prize draw

                                                        

We have some lovely seasonal stamps from Chocolate Baroque for our lucky winner to use on their Christmas creations.

Chocolate Baroque is a small independent art and craft company, based in the historic market town of Barnard Castle in County Durham in the North-East of England and is owned and run by Lesley Wharton. Our resident artist, Sue Page, works from her home in Hampshire where she is inspired, amongst other things, by the natural world, botanical art and early 20th century illustration.

We design our own range of natural rubber art stamps from Sue's hand drawn originals, complemented by typography from Lesley.  The rubber stamps are made in house, by David, to our very exacting quality standards. And nothing gets past his eagle eye!

Please ensure you check our challenge rules here before entering, it may save you embarrassment and make sure your entry receives comments from the team and is entered into the prize draw: We run our challenge for fun in our spare time. It is your responsibility if entering to make sure you check our challenge rules, it is not our responsibility to read your posts and remind you if you fail to comply. If you do not follow the rules we will simply ignore your entry.

As usual the Design Team have been busy and have lots of inspiration to set you on your way, remember you can click the link on their names to visit their personal blogs and read more about their creations......................
