GC58: Spicy Supply Challenge - Transparencies

Flight is our focus this month of Gingersnap Creations and the Spicy Supply Challenge is inspired by fairy, butterfly and dragonfly wings. We challenge you to use

Transparencies

or acetate in your creations. You can use it as a card base, stamp your focal image on it, use pre-printed transparencies in a collage, try a cool technique on acetate or create a clear album - the possibilities are endless. We can't wait to see all your creative projects using this fun supply!

When the challenge closes on July 11, 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 transparency or acetate.

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 13, 2010. You have until July 11, 2010 to enter!

  18. My fdirst attempt on transparencies. I plan to practice doing this one as I'm not really satisfied with my results. Next time I will blend the colors more. IK was afraid the stamp image wouldn't show through enough.
