Crazy Hambo Challenge!

For the March Hogs and Sketches Challenge, the folks at Hambo Stamps are shakin' it up! This time, we didn't have a layout sketch to go by, we had a set of parameters! What do I mean by that? Monica asked each member of the Design Team one question and then took all of those pieces and combined them for our challenge! What a cool idea! Card size, favorite color, favorite technique, favorite embellishment...they are all there!

Here was the challenge:
Card Size: 4.25 x 5.5 (portrait or landscape)
Colors to Use: Red and Purple
Technique: Paper Piecing
Embellishment: Dew Drops

I was jammin until I ran into the purple/red color combo. I like both, but I rarely use those together! I guess the Red Hat Ladies will be lovin it! So join us on the challege for March! I had fun and so should you! You just might be the winner of some cool Hambo goodies!



Copic Colors Used:
Red: R22, R24, R27
Purple: V12, V15, V17
Leaves: YG11, YG13, YG17
Sky: B91

"Hogs and Sketches" Challenge

Welcome to the first Hogs and Sketches challenge for Hambo Stamps!

I will be hosting a monthly sketch challenge featuring the whimsical images from Hambo Stamps. Don't have any stamps from Hambo? Not to worry! You can use one of their FREE digi-stamps to create your card. You can find their free cat and pig images in their digital shop.

I am not much on hard-core rules and regulations, so I have kept it simple. Using the sketch below, you can upload one or more cards via Mr. Linky. You must use at least one Hambo Stamp (rubber or digital) on your card. Other than that, you can use anything your heart desires. Have fun with it!

What's in it for you? FREE STAMPS from Hambo Stamps! Monica has kindly offered to provide a prize package for one lucky participant. I will put all the names in a jar and draw the name of the winner on September 30th.

All samples must be posted to my blog using the Mr. Linky no later than midnight (EST) on September 29th.

Please use "hands1" in your keyword field so we can keep track of the different sketch challenges.
