Oh So Blue

Happy New Year and welcome to the first challenge of 2016 here at Stamps and Stencils.

It is Cec here and I am your hostess for this challenge but before I tell you all about it, please join us in saying farewell to Julia and Yvonne and wishing them all the best in their crafty ventures.

Now on to the challenge.  I am calling it Oh So Blue and here is how I describe it:

This time of year it is easy to start feeling blue now that the festivities surrounding Christmas are over and winter is making its presence known with less sun and more miserable weather so instead of giving in to it let's celebrate blue. Create a primarily blue mixed media project that includes some stamping and/or stenciling. You may add one other colour to your creation but it must be mostly blue.

We hope you will share your creativity with us and you could have the opportunity to become a Guest Designer at a future date.

In the meantime our designers have created some wonderful blue projects for your inspiration.  Please click on their names to be taken directly to their blogs so you can get all the details.
