Outlawz March Progressive Challenge

A new Progressive challenge!!
We had so many gorgeous cards turn up in our February Progressive Challenge! I think everyone enjoyed the images by Beccy's Place.

Since it is March now, we have a new Progressive challenge at the Outlawz  that starts March 1 and runs through March 31st.

Our image this month is Catch of the Day and is provided by Anne Fenton, owner of Anne's Digital Art.


Here is my card. Hope you will stop by the challenge and see what my teammates have made with this cutie!


I used a combination of Copic markers and Colored Pencils to color the image. I had a pattened paper all set to use and when I turned it over to put the adhesive on, it was like an Aha! moment. I much preferred the reverse side of the paper, so that is what I used. I cut a dragonfly out using a Stampin' Up! die set and used Wink of Stella to outline it. 

ABOUT OUR CHALLENGE:

We had a great response for our February challenge.  If you took part in this progressive challenge in February, you will automatically receive by email the new March image. If you didn't take part but want to, it is easy to join the fun.

First, you must be a member of the Outlawz. If you aren't a member, just drop by and ask to join. After your request is approved, you can join the Progressive Challenge or any of our other seven challenges.

Next, you will need to register to play. Do this by sending an email to the address on the challenge page with your name and email address and an email will be sent to you.
 
Rules: 
The rules are very simple: join the challenge, join the progressive/freebie group, send us an email to register and then enter a project made with the image supplied before 6:00 p.m. EST on the last day of the month and you will automatically get the next image. If for any reason you don’t get your project made and you would like to rejoin us, you can buy the image of the month from the sponsor's store and as long as you enter it before the end of the month you will get the next one free and you will then get them automatically each month you enter a project.
Please do not add your image to Pinterest, or your blog or anywhere it can be copied from without a watermark. You can not share these images with anyone – if your friends or family want them send them HERE to join in and get their image or if they don’t want to join the challenge please send them to the sponsor's store to purchase the image.
When you have made your project please place it onto the challenge page for March, enter it into the Gallery (use the tag PF40 for the March challenge) and the March Inlinkz to be entered into the draw for the site wide prizes from our other wonderful sponsors – check out the Outlawz side bar for this month’s prizes!

Autumn Enchantment at the Outlawz Festive Friday's

We are in full swing of our 7th Birthday Celebration at the Outlawz. See details Here
Our regular challenges are going as usual and we have a new challenge at the Outlawz Festive Friday's Challenge

This week our themes are Get Well Cards, Fairies, 3D Cards, and Christmas!

I went with Fairies and my image is by our sponsor The Paper Shelter and is from the Autumn Enchantment set.

 Here is my card!


The Autumn Enchantment image is Pre-colored (gotta love that! Especially when you are pressed for time like I have been lately!) I cut out the image using Marianne Die LR0376 and layered it on another die from the same set cut from a deep red cardstock. The bottom layer is designer paper I've had for years. The border along the side plus the Beauty surrounds us sentiments are from a Penny Black Stickeroos set. I'm so in love with the Penny Black Stickeroos! They are just gorgeous and come in so many themes! This theme is Scented Stroke.


Hope you will come over to the  Outlawz Festive Friday's Challenge and see what my teammates have made. So much talent over there!
