Stencil Sunday #44 + May Mixed Media Challenge

Welcome to another edition of Stencil Sunday with the STAMPlorations girls in the Mixed Media design team  And because it's the first Sunday of the month, it's also time for a new Mixed Media Challenge!

But before we get on with this month's challenge, we'd like to give a heads up to all mixed media artists out there. We're having a design team call. The term of the current STAMPlorations' mixed media design team is soon ending and Shery is looking for a few awesome mixed media artists to join us in the new term. You can read about all the details here. The call is open until May 15, so here's your chance to play with some fab stamps and stencils. We're a fun and friendly group of artsy, talented crafters :o)


Thank you to everyone who linked up to the April Mixed Media Challenge! We'll announce the winner and top picks on May 6. Let's start off with the girls' awe-mazing mixed media projects!

  • You can enter as many projects as you wish as long as they are in separate blog posts.

A gentle reminder: This is a non-card mixed media challenge, so please don't link up cards (we've got other challenges where you can enter your cards). You must use a stencil (or stencils) -- any brand or a homemade one -- in your project(s). If it's not obvious to us that you used a stencil, your entry may be deleted.
