Challenge 5 - Storm Colours

Good morning to all you lovely Waltzingmouse Fanatics out there - are you ready for your new challenge?  This time we're back onto a colour challenge and this time it's quite appropriate as the UK was hit by one of it's worst storms we've seen in 10 years this week - so we have the cool colours of a stormy sea for you all to play with.

Remember, you don't have to use all 6 colours - you can just use 3 if you find that easier and your project can be anything you like as long as you feature Waltzingmouse Stamps, digis, or cut files somewhere on it.  Feel free to combine us with other challenges too.

Are you in need of a little inspiration?   Well this is what we came up with for you - hope you like it - as always full details are on our personal blogs so click our names to come by and say hello ;-)

Sorry I messed up the links last time and they closed at noon - I did link up our late players and I promise you have until 5pm GMT on Thursday 14th November to get your project linked up below (and remember British Summer Time is over now so our clocks went back an hour last weekend)

Challenge 4 Winners

I'm sorry I messed up the linky widget and it closed earlier than you thought - I linked up those who came late and I've set it for 5pm for our next challenge I promise!

As the number of entrants were a little low we've decided to just award a winner and a single runner up this time so without further ado - here we go.....

Our winner this time was Pauline with her delightful floral card.  The use of the leaf sprigs for the wave in the sketch was inspired and the floral focal point was beautifully stamped and arranged.  

Our runner up is one of those late entrants (so do always drop us a line if you just miss the deadline!)   We loved how Louise had used dimensional paint to "ice" the gingerbread men in her jar and the vintage lace is the perfect finishing touch to the sketch.

 
Congratulations ladies - do grab your winners badges from our winners page :-)


If you didn't win this time then you don't have long to wait to give it another try as we have less than 12 hours til our new challenge goes live and we have some lovely cool colours for you to play with ;-)

Challenge 4 - Sketch

So folks welcome to challenge No 4 - we've rolled around to sketches again - this is how the Fanatics site will work we'll rotate between sketches, colour and themed challenges and as we've done one of each already we're now back to the beginning of the process with this cool sketch which is open to interpretation in lots of styles.

Remember you don't have to make a card - anything based on the sketch is fine by us (feel free to rotate the sketch too if required) - all you have to is use something from Waltzingmouse Stamps somewhere on your project - easy peasy!

Want to see what we did with it?   Well here goes:

As usual you'll find all the details on our personal blogs (just click our names) so do pop by and say hello - we love it when you visit.

Projects without Waltzingmouse products are not eligible to link up to this challenge - we only have that one rule so please ensure your project complies.

Halloween Winners

We're mixing it up a little here at the Fanatics house - from now on we're going to let you know the winners of the challenge on the Friday before the new challenge starts.  We think it makes sense to separate the winners post from the new challenge so it's not such a big post in one and we can give a proper "ta da" to the challenge winners.

So - without further ado, it's time to announce our winners for our Halloween challenge - we had some fantastic entrants and really did struggle to choose the winners - you all obviously LOVE Claire's fabulous Halloween designs - doesn't she just rock this time of year!

Our No 1 Fan this time was Asha - we loved everything about this card - the non-traditional Halloween colours, the great colouring of the focal image and the cute layout.  Congrats Asha - do take your No 1 Fan badge from our winners page.

Our Top 3 Fanatics this time were, in order of entry:

Julia - we loved the super CAS layout and how the vellum sentiment gave an extra
spooky feel to the witch - can you hear her cackle?

 Jeanne - we'd like to be Jeanne's neighbours - who wouldn't love one
of these super cute treat bags come Halloween???

 Tammy - the elegance of this one won us over - Halloween doesn't have
to be creepy it can be super elegant too!

Again ladies - please do take your Top 3 badge from our winners page (see the tabs at the top of the blog)

Finally we have a special mention for Ang - she's played along in all our challenge so far and was determined to join in again but only has 2 sets of Waltzingmouse Stamps neither of which were even remotely Halloweeny, so we think Ang deserves a special mention for determination and ingenuity - as with a little imagination the flowers from Simple Sprig became very convincing pumpkins!

Challenge 3 Reminder

You still have time to play along wtih our first theme challenge here at Waltzmingmouse Fanatics - the deadline is 5pm (GMT) on Thursday 17th October.

As the witching hour is nearly upon us, then our theme is Halloween so time to get your spooky stamps inky ;-)
