September Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz

It's September and we have a new Outlawz  Progressive Challenge.  The challenge will run September 1st through the 30th.

Our image for September has been generously donated by Mary Smith of Createful Heart and is named Ms. Scarecrow with Squirrels.




Here is my card. I colored with Copic Markers. The Autumn was hand stamped onto vellum and layered over a brown striped scrap of leftover paper from another project. The button embellishments are actually brads.



ABOUT OUR CHALLENGE:

We had a great response for our August challenge.  If you took part in this progressive challenge in August, you will automatically receive by email the new September 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 with the image.
 
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 September, enter it into the Gallery (use the tag PF46 for the September challenge) and the September 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!

I like to color images where I can be the "Fashion Designer" and of course, in my mind, every piece of clothing should be purple! Or some shade of it!!  So of course, the party dress is purple! And my love of glitter let me glitz up her handbag and the fancy bow on the dress and when you party, don't you put sparkle in your hair, too???
My card uses Suzy-Party Time by our sponsor Anne's Digital Art.
