March - A Time of Renewal (Spring and/or Easter)

Hello again Artists!  A warm welcome to another monthly challenge where we like to play WITHOUT WORDS - we have been thrilled to see you enjoying our fun challenges so much, and we hope that you will enjoy this one too!

This month, which is MARCH, our challenge is A TIME OF RENEWAL with the focus on Spring and/or Easter.

We are looking forward to seeing what you make of this one and viewing your fabulous creations.  Please remember to follow our CAS definition and the theme of this months challenge for your entry to be a valid one. 

Sadly we had another month of having to discount some entries because they did not follow our simple rules, so for clarity, here they are again:

CLEAN AND SIMPLE
HANDCOLOURED IMAGE
MINIMAL OR NO EMBELLISHMENTS
YOU CAN USE A SENTIMENT BUT THE
IMAGE MUST BE THE MAIN FOCUS
OF YOUR CARD
PLEASE FOLLOW THE THEME OF THE MONTH

We have a super sponsor with us this month in the shape of Janet and her wonderful fun images from PINK GEM DESIGNS.  Welcome Janet, and thank you hunny.  The prize for the winner is two of Pink Gems gorgeous digi images.


Our very talented Design Team (the Magnificent Seven) have created their usual high standard of magic to inspire you.  An awful lot of time is spent by the team in creating these mini works of art so don't forget that it would be nice if you have time to visit their individual blogs and share the love.

And just before we go, the Winner and Top 3 for February have been posted on our Without Word Stars of the Month page - don't forget to pop over and check it out, it could be you!

LINKY TOOL HELP

The one thing that we all have problems with from time to time is the link tool going missing.  If you find that this has disappeared from the challenge, please try refreshing your page.  If the link tool still does not appear then you can link your entry via your comment.  The HTML code for linking your entry will be:
<a href="link to post"/>text to be seen</a>  
If you are still not sure, here is an example of what it should look like
<a href="http://squirrel10.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/luv-ya.html"/>here is my entry</a>
(just copy and paste the address bar from your published post)
The space between the first <a and href=, and a space after the last a>
are essential for the link to work.
