It’s the first Friday of the month so time for our Special Monthly Challenge which as always is sponsored by Heidi and her team from Simon Says Stamp with a $30 voucher, and she even pays the shipping!

With over 100,000 items in stock, Simon is proud to offer the best selection of Rubber Stamps, Scrapbooking, Artist Trading Cards, Altered Art, and Paper Crafting Supplies in the world!

We have decided to have a little change on how we run our Special Monthly Challenges.  We want to inject a bit of fun into it (and make life easier for us all) so from this challenge onwards we are going to set the Special Monthly challenges as "Anything Goes".

Today the design team are all using the Crackled Glass technique.  If you would like to join our challenge we would love to have you try out this technique OR "Anything Goes", it is up to you.  We understand that sometimes you don't always have the necessary craft items or time for the special challenges, and we want to encourage you all to enter so hope that by making this a FUN challenge once a month you will join in with us -   we just want you to play along any way you want this week as long as you use a Magnolia image.

For those that want to give the technique a try there is a fab tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers as well as a lot of You Tube videos.

Don’t forget that you can combine our challenge with any other challenges of your choice as long as the main image on your creation is a Magnolia stamp you will qualify to be in the draw for the fab prize. And remember NO back linking, new projects/cards only please.

Phew, that was a long one lol – here’s some inspiration from the DT.

Loved the DT cards, but i didn't have any crackle glaze, so i had to go without. xxx

The DT cards are all so gorgeous. I wish I had the materials to try the cracked glass, but, as you said, anything goes.
