GC57: Chestnut Theme - Wings

In keeping with our month-long theme of Flight, we challenge you to make something with

Wings


Anything with wings will work - butterflies, dragonflies, bumblebees, birds, dragons, fairies, airplanes and angels to name a few!

When the challenge closes on July 4, 2010, we will pick 7 Ginger Gems - fabulous creations that we feel really exemplify that challenge's objective. The Ginger Gems will appear in our wrap-up post and in a slide show in the blog bar for an entire week and their creators will have the honor of displaying our Ginger Gems blog badge.

For your chance to be eligible as a Ginger Gem or as a Home Page Artist, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a paper crafting or mixed media creation using wings as your theme or inspiration;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a DIRECT link to your creation or use Mister Linky below.Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!

For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ page.

One random winner and seven Ginger Gems will be announced from the qualifying submissions on July 6, 2010. You have until July 4, 2010 to enter!

Now for some fabulous art from the Gingersnap Creations Design Team!
