WELCOME

The Roman poet Horace is attributed with saying that a picture is a poem without words. Well, that's what we like to think too, although some words will be allowed (what's a card without the occasional sentiment). Welcome to the Without Words Challenge where we want you to create clean and simple cards, focusing on the image without the distractions of too many embellishments. We hope you enjoy this challenge as much as we do!

THE WITHOUT WORDS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED

JUNE: Hot Colours


Hello Artists!  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 JUNE, our challenge is HOT COLOURS - so let's be seeing those reds, oranges, strong yellows, hot pinks!

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.

Our sponsor for June is MY CRAFTY HEART with a £10 store voucher


Before we get on to what the Word Birds have created for you this month, we need to have a word with you.  Over the last couple of challenges we have seen rather a lot of embellishments creeping in, and some entries without a hand-coloured image.  PLEASE check the rules before entering as it is disheartening for us and for you if we have to ignore your entry!

Our very talented Design Team (the Word Birds) have created some amazing work 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.
