Midway Motivation - Monochrome

Welcome back to our 
 'Midway Motivation' post here at 
FANTASY STAMPERS.

As we have a third Saturday this month, I thought I would pop in myself to share one of my own makes for this theme to give you a little more motivation for our current challenge - Monochrome.

I love making this style of artwork, just using inks and stamps (this set was another magazine Freebie) ...



If you are interested in joining us as a Guest Designer for our Midway Motivation posts in the future, simply add GDT after your entry on our current challenge, or contact me by e-mail HERE.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 6th May, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.

# 61 - Monochrome

Welcome back to the 
'Fantasy Stampers Challenge'.


Just a reminder if you are new to our challenge - 
your project doesn't have to be 
of a 'Fantasy' nature.

First of all, a big 'Thank You' to those of you that joined our last challenge 'A New Baby' - we had some adorably cute entries. Please remember that we are a stamping challenge, so unfortunately we are unable to consider digital images for our Top 3. Please don't forget to pop back tomorrow to check out our 'Winner's Post'.

Just to let you know we are always on the lookout for Guest Designers to join us for our 'Midway Motivation' posts on the alternate Saturdays to the challenge.  This opportunity will require you to make two projects on two different themes and would give you the chance to experience being on a design team, without all the extra commitment.  If you are interested in being a 'Guest Designer' please add GDT after your entry below.
oooOooo

So, here we go with Challenge No.61 - our theme for the next two weeks 


We would love to see all your crafty projects using shades of just one colour (black and white will be accepted too).

BUT please remember, we are a stamping challenge so your project MUST include stamping as a focal point and please state clearly which stamp/stamps you used in your blog post (no digital images please)

Here's what the Design Team made for your inspiration ...

Stamp - Stampin' Up 'Birthday Blooms'

Stamp -  LC Designs 'Dinkies Boxed Dandilion'

Stamp - Lavinia Stamps

Stamp - Julie Nitting 'Mindy'

Stamp - Hero Arts 'Lattice Background'
Sentiment - Crafters Companion 

Stamp - Claritystamps 'Alium'

Beautiful work from the DT once again 
- thank you ladies.

And 'Thank You' to those of you leaving comments
about our DT projects - they are very much appreciated.

Now it's over to you - to submit your entry just click on the little blue button below and remember to link your entry back to our blog. We will be around to visit your blogs over the next fortnight and I will be back with details of our next challenge on the 7th May.

Wishing you all lots of luck,
Big hugz, Jan xx

Midway Motivation - A New Baby

Welcome back to our 
 'Midway Motivation' post here at 
FANTASY STAMPERS.

I am back today with our Guest Designer for the month of April to give you a little motivation for our current challenge - 'A New Baby'.  So, in case you missed it last time, here's a little bit about Pearl ...



Hi, my name is Pearl Dalley and I am married with four children and four grandchildren. I have been crafting all my life, I started when my mum taught me to knit and crochet. I progressed to card making and cake design about twelve years ago, but it is my card design that has become a passion, I would even say an addiction! I craft every day and sometimes all day, it is my stress buster as I have a very stressful job as a nurse. I love to stamp and have recently become a fan of the new Clarity Groovi system which I try to mix with my stamping. Trying new techniques is fun and I attend a monthly Clarity class with the very talented Maria Simms - you never stop learning and I find it an achievement when I finally get it right.

oooOooo

Here's Pearl's beautiful project for our current challenge 'A New Baby' ...


Many thanks, Pearl.

So, there is still plenty of time to join us - the current challenge will close on the 22nd April, and I will be back with details of our next challenge the following day.
