CHALLENGE #70

HIP TO BE SQUARE

This fortnight the team are going to be showcasing Carmen's Veranda's Squares.

These are a series of nearly 40 stamps which have an arty, distressed look.  Most are 2.75", but a few are 4".  They make a wonderful focal image for your projects, as I am sure the team will show us.   If you have any of these stamps we would love to see them, but of course, if you don't, we will accept square projects, and square elements in your projects.  Just please remember that real stamping needs to be obvious.  Digi creations will be deleted without notice. 

Please remember we do have some Challenge Rules to follow so look them over to ensure your entries qualify to win this month's prize!

You are welcome to play in our Challenges using rubber stamp images from any company but if you use any of our Lost Coast Designs or Carmen's Veranda stamps...we love it when you do...then your entry counts as two which doubles your chances of winning in our random prize drawing.
