April Colour Challenge!

Welcome to the Rubber Dance Monthly Art Stamping Challenge!

According to TS Eliot, April is the cruelest month. I am not entirely sure why (I did study his poetry at university but that's about a century ago!), but a little dose of crafting and the chance to win some lush stamps can only make it better, right? So here we go with another challenge for you.


Both our winner and Pick of the Month will get badges to proudly display on their blogs. Winners will be announced on our blog on the 7th of the following month, so remember to check back to see if you won! 

  • We'll draw an overall WINNER at random who receives an an amazing grab bag of unmounted Rubber Dance stamps worth 25 Euro! (that's over $30!)
  • The Design Team will choose our favourite entry - our DT Pick of the Month. 
  • Any entries using Rubber Dance stamps will get a special mention!
  • NEW: Afer you have linked up your work, you can email Bibi (stamplist@gmail.com) to get a discount code to use in the Rubber Dance Stamps webshop and get 20% off your entire order!

For April our colours are delicate, feminine and sophisticated
In addition to our colour scheme we also have an optional THEME: TEXTURE
(if you want to - add texture in any way you like - texturising products, embossing, layering, die cuts, 3D embellishment, fabric - anything goes.)

Please take a quick look at the guidelines below before you create. Don’t worry, there aren't many rules and they are not complicated.

Need some inspiration? Check out these examples! We have all used stamps from Rubber Dance, which you can find on our website: www.rubberdance.com

    What a diversity of style shown by the DT! There is inspiration for everyone, but this palette is already enough for me, it's one of my favourite!
    I too think the discount code is a great idea!

    Woah!! Don't know what happened but I got an error page, and when I came back here saw the 4 links, which I can't delete...
    Bibi Lindahl said…
    Hmm. Must have been a hick-up in that Linkytool system, but all is good now - I deleted the last 3. Thank you for entering with your beautiful card! ♥

    Fantastic inspiration - as always! I really would like to join in this time! Let's hope April will be the 'kindest' rather than the 'cruellest' month and allow me the time to do so! xx
    Lizzy Hill said…
    Oh! I'm so sorry - somehow I've linked up twice & can't remove one of them!!! Enjoyed the challenge!!!!
    Bibi Lindahl said…
    No problem, I've deleted the second one. Thank you for joining with your beautiful card! :)
    ParkNSlide said…
    Sorry...not sure why it double-posted???
    Bibi Lindahl said…
    I removed the second one. No idea why that happens, maybe it's a bug in the Linky tool...
    Thank you for entering your card! :-)
