You have until May 31st at 8:00pm EST to enter and the winner will recieve a stamp set of their choice.  Also, everyone who enters the challenge and uses a Sparkle N Sprinkle Rubber Stamp or a Sparkle N Sprinkle digital image that you've purchased will receive ONE FREE digital image. 

Just a few changes in our challenge guidelines:  we are limiting the submissions to 3 per month and the winner will need to contact barbara@sparklensprinkle.com to arrange to claim their grand prize.  Head on over to Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenges Blog for all the details and the link tool to link your creation.

Here is a little inspiration to get you started.


This little bird is from the new Shabby Chic Birdhouse set.  I had this perfect designer paper from Basic Grey so I colored the image to match, using my alcohol markers.  I cut it out with a Spellbinders’ Standard Circle die, using the Out of the Box Nesties technique, and layered it on a Spellbinders’ Butterfly Circle.  I created layers with three different designer cardstocks and added glitter,a bow, and green pearl flourishes.  The sentiment is from the new Spring Florals set.  Full details can be found here.

Want more inspiration?  Check out what my fellow SNS designers have created on the Challenge Blog.  We can’t wait to see what you can do!!
