And now for Challenge #10:
Blue and Brown - using at least one Stampsmith stamp

I thought it would be fun for everyone to try a color challenge. It is your challenge to create a project using the colors Blue and Brown. I have always liked Blue and Brown together. There is so much scope in this combo. You can use light to dark blue and brown. You can also pair these two colors with neutrals. I like this combo so well that I used it for my bedroom. You may make any type of project: a card, ATC, 3-D, etc…Have fun with it!!

Here are the rules: Since it is 15th of the Month you must use at least one Stampsmith image to be eligible for the random drawing. Just link your project below and the winner will be announced on the 1st of April.

Take a look at the Design Team’s projects to help inspire you.

This week is a perfect chance to join the fun even if you don't have any Stampsmith stamps yet.  You may use any stamps to create your project and join for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate to The Stampsmith Store

Here are a couple of ideas to get you started!  Have fun creating!
