Challenge #47 Hero's: Final Week

Hello Peeps!
I have been watching the number of followers creeping up, and so I have decided to offer a small prize for the 300'th follower to join Unstampabelles. If you are a lurker, now is the time to join!

More details on this next month!

On to our current challenge #47:

The theme for June is Who is Your Hero/Heroine? 

We all have someone we look up to and admire

Create a mixed media item to celebrate your hero! 

The twist is to journal about it in your blog

This is the prize on offer

Before we look at some final work from the DT, I have to announce that due to work commitments, the immensely talented Tracey Fehr has had to leave us. We hope that life works out for her and her hubby, and that she can get some time and space to craft with us again, but in the meantime, Tracey we will miss your involvement with us and your fascinating projects. Thank you for being a part of this team.

This means of course that we have a vacancy on the DT - if you are interested in being part of our team, contact me for more details.

Shyla has added a project DESPITE moving house!
Amazing!

I made this card to thank my wonderful Design Team for all their efforts!

CG 

(My heroes are my husband & his living kidney donor; 

and everyone who helped us through our journey)

Isn't CG's work amazing!

A real memory box

Well, that should surely get those ideas stirring in the brain and itching to be expressed.

We would love to see what you have made

Remember, no stamps - mixed media with a theme of HERO's

Week Three for June - Who is Your Hero?

The theme is Who is Your Hero/Heroine? 

We all have someone we look up to and admire

Create a mixed media item to celebrate your hero! 

Your hero may be your spouse or another family member, a national or international figure or indeed a fictional person. 

The twist is to journal about it in your blog

Now, don't tell me you don't have a hero - I am certain we all do - and there are lots of ways you can create a mixed media item to show the world (well, the crafty world) who is your hero currently.

This is the prize on offer

Here are some pieces from the Design Team to lead the way and get your juices flowing with ideas and ways you can describe your hero(s). 

Felicity Aston 

Adventurer and Explorer of the Antarctica (and some more)

by Lou Lou

Jen Leeflang

(My Mom is my Hero)

Urvashi Rao

Altered book. Explained my hero (great granny) in my post

Susan

My first go at a journalling page

Why not go to Pinterest and look up Multi-media items and then adapt/adopt something you find that you like and make it your item to enter!

May's Winner for Challenge#47

Second week always belongs to the winners. We are announcing only one winner this month, as the Design Team Favourite and the Random Number winner are one and the same person! 

I guess it happens occasionally!

Our winner and DT Favourite for May is.....

.......drum roll, drum roll........

Alicia O'Bryant

who has won this die and our admiration for her beautiful album dedicated to her Mother.

Congratulations Alicia

For those of you disappointed it wasn't you, there is another challenge on for June

 This is the prize on offer - two stencils

The theme is Who is Your Hero/Heroine? 

We all have someone we look up to and admire

Create a mixed media item to celebrate your hero! 

Your hero may be your spouse or another family member, a national or international figure or indeed a fictional person. 

The twist is to journal about it in your blog

Today we have two Guest Designers to inspire you

ChrisC

Chris created two pieces for me as she forgot in the heat of creation the non-stamp rule and had to do over to create this beauty, in praise of the mighty Alice! We have all been down that particular rabbit hole: forgetting about no stamping I mean and then having to remake!

Valerija

...who did exactly the same thing as Chris and had to have another attempt - even experienced players in this challenge fall foul sometimes.  However, you can see that both Guest Designers got around their hiccup and produced lovely multi media items with no stamps to be seen in this lovely layout depicting her daughter who is her hero.

It can be done

Susan

The women who have to live with (and sometimes die from)  Breast Cancer

This one uses a stencil, ink and glitter texture paste!

Your project can be whatever you wish it to be - a card, a box, a tag, a scrap page, a frame or a repurposed object - as long as it is relevant to the theme of Your Hero.

The twist is easy this month - just mention in your blog or wherever you store your image exactly what the Hero thing for you is all about.

June already! OMG!

The first Monday of June is the 1st of June this year - apparently there are a lot of Monday's this month too! We will be following our tradition of posting every Monday for four weeks, then have a bit of a break until the first Monday in July...remember our winner's post is always the second Monday, so pop back for a visit then to see who our winner might be.......

This month, the challenge is to see who can mix it up a bit and try a little bit of mixed media -

A technique involving the use of two or more artistic media, such as ink and pastel or painting and collage, that are combined in a single composition.

For a beginner that might be embossing and/or using paint or ink to create a background or using pencils and ink right up to collage work. There are many different ways to use mixed media in our craft.

This artist is Louise O'Hara, and she uses paint, stencils, ink, paper, materials including lace, paste, and other items to create pictures. Look up her Pinterest site to have some drool time!
