If you are new to this unique challenge, you can find out the impetus behind why I created it under the 'Introductions' tab and all the details you need to know in order to participate, by checking out the 'Challenge Details' tab (both tabs located at the top of the blog). For your convenience, a summary of the most important rules can be found in the right sidebar under the heading 'Basic Rules Summary'.
Right now, time to get down to the business of our latest challenge. Here is what you need to know...
Challenge #56
Optional Twist: Sparkle, Glitter & Bling
If you want the chance to win this month's featured paper pack, be sure to add lots of sparkle, glitter or bling to your card. You can use just one of these or all three. Whatever you choose, just make sure your card sparkles and shines.
Keep in mind though, that you don't need to follow the twist to link up your cards and earn a free paper each month or for a chance to win a $10.00 gift voucher to the Oddball Art store. You simply need to follow the twist if you'd like a chance to win this month's featured digital paper pack, Snowy Bokeh Tree Backgrounds.
Talking about Oddball Art, it is time to learn about this sponsor, brand new to us here at The 12 Months of Christmas…
Oddball Art Stamps by Lizzy Love are the perfect combination of sweet and sour that glitters up the grunge. As a lover of all things dark, whimsical, sweet & spooky, Lizzy throws in the bubblegum goth with a touch of glam, punk rock zombie and Kawaii kitten! From the big eyed beauties with a bittersweet sadness to the creepy little cuties with their adorable madness, she sprinkles them all over with Ziggy's stardust & the candy mans pop rocks to give you unique, slightly odd, one of a kind images that you won't find anywhere else. Whether you are looking for the dark and dismal, the cutsie-wootsie or anything in between; at Oddball Art you will find what you're looking for and these whimsical stamps will leave you longing for more.
