Devine Digi's

Is everyone ready for another challenge?  Great!  I don't know about you, but I have been neglecting my digital stamps.  I've been doing more and more art journaling and mixed media projects and haven't given any thought to digital stamps.  Well, nothing like a challenge to challenge the mind right:?

Good morning everyone! Micki here as your host for this challenge.  First and foremost I'm super excited that we have a wonderful sponsor for our Devine Digi's challenge and that is 

Shelly's Images!  

Go check out the store - wonderful array of digital stamps covering just about anything!  
But first let me give you the details for this challenge.

Challenge:  
To use a digital stamp in your project.  
This project can be anything as long as you used a Digital Stamp.

Deadline to enter:
You have until Sunday, September 22nd - 8:00 P.M. (EST).

Please remember to follow these few simple rules:

• No backlinking
• Three (3) entry limit
• Must follow challenge theme to qualify for prize (when one is available)
• Direct link to your challenge entry ... not your entire blog.
• We would certainly appreciate you turning OFF the word verification.

Follow these simple rules and one lucky participant  chosen via Random.org will win:

We'll post the winner, here on the blog on Tuesday, September 24th. 

Remember how I had mentioned that I've been doing more and more art journaling/mixed media?  Weeellllllll, this challenge got me to thinking about how I can incorporate digital stamps into my mixed media canvases.  And did you know that Shelly's Images has already colored digital stamps?  Meaning they've done all the coloring, you just have to size the image on your computer and print.  Umm, hello......timesaver!  Not just on mixed media projects but also for creating quick cards.  But I digress,  yes, digital stamps can be used on......anything.  And yes, I incorporated a digital stamp into my mixed media canvas.  No, not incorporated, the digital stamp is the highlight of the canvas.  Yay me!  You may have already known this, but for me it was a first, lo, yes, I can be a bit behind the times :-).  

Now let's check out what the rest of the sistah's created for this fun challenge: 

But before we do that, we are super excited to welcome two new Step-Sisters to the Sisterhood!  Please be sure to pop over to Wiola & Sheena B's blogs and leave them some love.

Black, White & One Winners.....

Hi guys!
Well, you certainly don't make it easy to choose the Top Sister or the Top 3.  All the projects were gorgeous.  And I really mean it.  Like I've said before, you just can't go wrong with Black and White and one accent color.  Loved each and everyone of your projects.

Now without further ado, the TOP SISTER award goes to:

Kali

And the TOP 3 awards go to, in no particular order:

Rina M

Rachel Fisher

Lea L

CONGRATULATIONS girls, don't forget to grab your badges from the sidebar and thank you, everyone for playing along with us!

Check back tomorrow for a new challenge with Darlene as your hostess.

Black, White and One Accent Color

Hi Friends,  

Welcome to a new challenge here in The Sisterhood!  We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July holiday and you guys really blew us away with your creations.  Definitely put me in the patriotic mood!  
Micki here and it's my turn to host.  I don't know about you, but whenever I am lacking in creative mojo, one sure fire way for me get it back is to go to my basic, classic style.  
And that is to use 

Black, White and One Accent Color.  

You can not go wrong and no matter what, the end result is always a timeless classic.  Not only is this color combination a timeless classic,  it's so versatile.  Depending on the accent color, it can be feminine or masculine.  A general Thinking of You, a Birthday or Get Well card.  And it's absolutely perfect as a Wedding or Anniversary card.
So come play along with us and show us what you can create using only Black, White and One Accent Color.  It can be a card, a mixed media project, 3D,  anything as long as you stay within the theme of using only Black, White and one accent color and follow our general rules (see below).  

Now, check out these beautiful and elegant cards.

Darlene

 Micki

Lisa

Now it's your turn.  We can't wait to see what you come up with.  

You have until Sunday, July 21st - 8PM (EST) to link up your creations. 

Please remember to follow these few simple rules:

• No backlinking
• Three (3) entry limit
• Must follow challenge theme to qualify for prize (when one is available)
• Direct link to your challenge entry ... not your entire blog.
• We would certainly appreciate you turning OFF the word verification.
