Challenge #47 ~ Black, White & One Other Colour Jan. 15 - 25



Hello Extraordinary Crafters!

We decided to change things up a little and do a colour challenge for this round. They're always fun and, I don't know about you, but for me, sticking to only a few colours always stretches my creativity. The challenge is Black, White & One Other Colour. We want to see mainly three colours on your project (excluding skin tones). If you sneak in little spots of something else, we won't worry about it but we are looking for mainly Black & White plus one other colour of your choice. You'll see what we mean by looking at the DT examples below.

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 2nd 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 .


And now for some fabulous inspiration from TheEastWind Design Team
