I'm Michelle Clark, member of the A Muse Creative Team. I'll be teaching classes at Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Marietta, GA during A Muse-a-Palooza and hope you'll join me!
Meantime, I have a SUPER- FUN stamping challenge I invite you to participate in, with a terrific prize to be drawn randomly from all registered A Muse-a-Palooza participants that play with me!
This is a polka dot challenge, and here's how you can enter to play:
- Create a card using polka dots (you can use polka dot stamp, ribbon, paper etc.)
- The card must feature at least one (1) A Muse stamp image
- Upload your card to the gallery on Splitcoaststampers.com, taking care to include the keyword AP08POLKA in the photo description or keyword box
- When you're finished, copy the url/link of your upload and post it in the comments area of this post by midnight, Sunday July 6th. Note that if you are not a fan club member on Splitcoaststampers, please submit your card by Saturday so as to observe their "no Sunday uploads" rule.
You may submit more than one entry for this challenge. The more you create, the more chances you have to win!
Below are some sample cards by Melissa, Geeta, Jenn, Novell, and me to get you thinking! (Click on each card to see them bigger.)
To see all the wonderful artwork shared by participants for this challenge, click HERE.
If you don't have a user account on Splitcoaststampers.com, you can easily create one HERE. Splitcoast user accounts are completely free!
All registered A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA participants that play the challenge and enter their card as directed above, will have their names entered into a random drawing for a fabulous prize from A Muse!
I can't wait to see what you do, so run and git yer rubbah stamps and get busy!
Got one done!
