The Show Me Challenge

Well, last release, we challenged players to come up with a fun and unique twist on a challenge, suggest it and they could win a chance to be in the Flourishes spotlight – not only would their challenge be picked, they would be the superstar of the day ushering one of our noon time release week  challenges as well!

Join Linda Carson as she challenges us to check out Flourishes' Tutorial Library! If you haven't checked it out, there are dozens upon dozens of ideas to get those creative juices flowing! Simply give one a try and you'll be in the running for this fun-filled challenge. Keyword FLLCORW2. Deadline for entry is October 21st at 5PM EST.

Season Of Celebration 1 

I chose Amanda Havon's tutorial from this week's Limelight.  She posted a tutorial on how to make a luminary.   I didn't do mine exactly like hers because I could not find the same luminary she used.   I took a glass candle holder, some faux tea lights, and some mulberry paper and created my own box.  I think next time I will chose a mulberry paper without so much pattern.  I stamped on the paper with the new set called Season Of Celebrations.  Then I embossed the image to give it a dark look.

I added the faux candles and my luminary was all ready to go.  Sorry about the poor photography. It has been raining for days here and it tough to get a good picture.  Thanks Linda for a great challenge and Amanda for a wonderful tutorial. I got one Christmas gift checked off my list.


How to Play:

Simply scroll through Flourishes Tutorial Library.  Once you find a technique or project that you’d like to give a try, have some creative fun and make it! After you’re done, be sure to share a link to the post on our tutorial library, so we can all see what inspired you! Be sure to link up to this post using our inlinkz widget. You need to do that in order to be in the running. If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword FLLCORW2. You have until Friday, October 14st at  5PM EST to enter! Let’s get that name game started and get creative!

Be sure to link back to the Flourishes post for all the official rules. We have a few that will be too many to name. i.e. use Flourishes stamps and you get counted twice, no combining challenges. Etc.!
