April 2024

 Hello all!  Welcome back to another month at the Colorful Options Challenge

This month we celebrate....

Pastels


Thank you for participating in the Green Challenge, and we hope you will all participate again this month.

This month, we challenge you to use a pastel color.  Please remember that you
may incorporate any neutrals or metallics that you need in your design and that your design does not need to be monochromatic.  If pastels are not to your liking, join us with a rainbow-inspired craft instead.

 
 Examples from our Design Team incorporate various artistic styles, and we welcome you to do the same!  Do not forget to click on the person’s blog to see all the details of how we made these creations and leave these wonderful girls some comment love.

Keep in mind that our contest is not limited to paper crafts.  Paint? Ink? Decor? Drawing? ANY artistic endeavor is welcome!!  

If you are a junior maker younger than 18, please post your age behind your name. Thank you!!

Show us your take on the challenge!  

 And now, our design team makes......

Deanne, A Little Bit O' Paper: Color of the month
