"Celebration" Open Art Challenge

This Challenge is closed

Our Kick-off Challenge Event

is here!!

The theme for our first ever PaperTraders Art blog challenge is "Celebration" because we are celebrating this new feature to our blog. You don't have to be a member of Paper_Traders Yahoo Art group to participate but if you would like to join us and be privy to even more great paper crafting swaps & challenges , we'd be excited about that, too.

When the challenge closes, we will pick a winning piece that best showcases the theme of the challenge and/or supply requirement.

 Challenge Rules

1. Make a paper craft or mixed media piece of art ( any size). The theme is "Celebration" and your creation must include something shiny: sequins, glitter, shiny beads, foil, metallic paint, etc.

2. Post your art to your blog, Flickr, Picasa (online albums). Mention our name PaperTraders Art Blog with a link back to this post.  You are more than welcome to grab our button and post it on your blog as well. 

    The last day to post for this challenge is June 29, 2011.

3. After posting your "Celebration"art on your site, come back to this post and leave us a comment. You must include a direct link to your image or post, not a general link to your album or blog.

All you will need to do is copy and paste the url address of your post found at the top of your browser window.

   If you would like to leave a "live" link (html) to your post entry comment, please do so in this format in the comment box:

                  <a href="Your Url">my entry.</a> 

      (place your entry image address in the "Your Url" spot)

4. The winner(s) will be awarded our "Trader Treasure" blog badge which they can choose to feature on their blog. Their art will also be posted on the PaperTraders Art Blog for 2 weeks.

Here is some free clipart to get you in an "art party" mood.
