Challenge # 3: Nail it Down with Textures

Hello All....

I cant believe its already been two months since we started this challenge blog and now we are entering our third month.....wooow...thanks to all the people who have supported and participated in making us a success! You all have showered us with some beautiful entries for our last challenge and the winner announcement shall soon follow...

Today, I bring to you one of my favourite and most loveable topics "textures"....as our this month's challenge...

Nail it Down with Textures

Let me make the theme more clear for you. We are looking at any kind and all sorts of textures that you can create with the help of embossing folders, with the use of fabrics like laces, burlaps, mesh, net or with the use of mixed media paraphernalia like gesso, gel mediums, texture paste, utee, embossing powders, sprays etc. The more the textures the better! The only condition is that whatever method you choose to incorporate, the projects need to be something that you can hang on your doors or walls- like a key chain hanger, name plate, wall hanging, scrapbook layouts, wall clocks, fridge magnets and so on....

The Craft Shop has a whole range of embossing folders and mixed media raw materials which are fast selling out....so grab your favourite item till the stock lasts!!!! We shall be discussing a lot of those raw materials in our future posts so stay tuned!!
