Progressive Freebie Challenge: June 2023

Good morning!

A new Progressive Freebie Challenge has started at The Outlawz Challenges located HERE. I am a tad late getting this posted, but there is still plenty of time to play along as the challenge will run for one month ending on June 30, 2023

If you are not playing along and wish to join the rules are very simple:

You need to be a member of The Outlawz Challenge Facebook Fan Page and you will need to send us an email to outlawzprogressivechallenge@gmx.com. We’ll send you the image. All you have to do is enter a card/project made with the image supplied before the challenges closes 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, contact us and we will let you know how to jump back in. And as long as you enter 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.

Good morning!

A new Outlawz Color Challenge has started. You can check it out HERE

This month we have a gorgeous Inspiration photo from Angela.

While I have way more white accents than the photo I did pull in the blues along with the browns and caramel plus I went with the coffee theme!

I colored the bird with an ink pad and a blender pen then added a bit of clear Pop of Color to the for some shiny!
