#10 Paper Whims

Vannessa says: Love the colouring and the sassy sentiment too. The colours and textures are just fab as well.

#6 Granne

Leigh says: I love all the different textures the various layers add to the piece and compliment the lovely mermaid. The octopus charm is the perfect touch!

# 1 Kym

Kay says:  Kym's mixed media canvas is very creative and full of interesting bits to explore.

#12 Suze

Bonnie says: I love Suze's choice of paper. The foam and the sand create a wonderful backdrop for the sweetly coloured image. The faux stitching and sentiment are delightful elements of the design.

Challenge #59 ~ Photo Inspiration July 15 - 25

Hello Extraordinary Crafters!

This month we decided to create a challenge that was something different for us. We thought it would be cool if we all took our inspiration from the same photo which is this gorgeous beach scene above. However, you are not limited to a beach or even a summer themed project. Whatever speaks to you from this photo, whether it's the colour palette, the relaxed feel, the stripes in the water...anything at all...use that as your jump off point for your creation. Just be sure to tell us what that is so we can be inspired, too.

Here are our Challenge rules ~

• Enter only new creations – no backlinking
• If using The East Wind images ~ unlimited entries
• If using The East Wind images ~ enter with link to blog post and 2^nd time with link to blog
• Maximum 3 entries if using other images
• Hand coloured and Crafted ~ NO DIGITAL COLOURING

*The Winner will get 3 digital stamps. 

*Each Designer's favorite receives 1 digi +30% off coupon code good for 7 days .
