Challenge #136 = Anything Goes + optional twist "Weddings"

The theme for May 2017's challenge is

 ANYTHING GOES
with an optional twist of "WEDDINGS"


Hosted by Asmah


Hello friends! I am delighted to host May challenge with you all. This month I challenge you with a twist entitled Wedding. Why I choose wedding in May? That's because on this 1st day of May 18 years ago I became a bride to my lovely groom. The photo above is my wedding photo in 1999. Maybe some of you may celebrate your wedding anniversary today like me or some time soon, maybe some are thinking wedding of your loved ones or maybe will attend a wedding and plan to make something for the special event. So here's a challenge that you may want to take and create any paper craft project to your heart content. It can be a card, scrapbook page, tag, Artist Trading Card, altered art and just anything as long as you use papers, DS4J digital stamp or rubber stamp. For the twist, it can be anything related to wedding such as using the word itself, applying wedding material in your project, adding wedding quotes...oh the ideas are endless. I created a set of ATCs of three beautiful ladies on a wedding day. I can't wait to see your creation/s, ideas and interpretations. You have one month long but I look forward to see your project/s before May 30, 2017. Happy creating!"
Here are my three ATCs and I used three digistamps from the artist Tanya -
 "Strong Lady 10,  Strong Lady 5, and Strong Lady 4.

  The challenge runs UNTIL 31 May 2017

The DTs Choice prize of the $10 Gift Voucher is applicable to all entries. Remember to link your projects in the linky below.

Have you seen our new Paper Doll category in the store!
The doll and clothing sets are bought separately. These are perfect for printing for your little ones to colour in, cut out, and play with. Or for those who want to merge digitally (PNG files included with transparent backgrounds). EACH item of clothing in a set is a separate file.
Note: There are no "tags" on the clothing items so that they can be used digitally. BUT if you want to cut out and dress, then Carla has kindly written up a short guideline below on how to add the tags and cut between the hair and the shoulder.

 Thanks for visiting and we hope you enjoyed our showcase!
 All of these digistamps are now available in the DS4J Shop.
