February 2025 Challenges

 Welcome to our February 2025 Challenges!

More new challenges and new inspiration each month.

Remember, one lucky monthly winner will receive an exclusive Scrapping Clearly Prize Box, that will be filled with premium crafting supplies that will fuel their creative journey.

FEBRUARY CHALLENGES

1. Our February Moodboard:

This visual mood board  - be inspired by these colours, textures and themes.

For February, think: urban, vibrant hues, neon, rebellious, brick walls, underground art.

2. February Sketch:

A Sketch - please use the Sketch as your base design, but interpret it freely into your projects - any paper craft project can apply!

3. Weekly ATC Prompts

Every Monday at 9am, we will release a unique ATC prompt. This is a NO-SWAP ATC project. This allows you to create your own mini artworks to keep as your own project. By the end of 2025, you will have your own collection of 52 ATCs that incorporated the weekly theme or technique.

Check out this BLOG, to see the current list of  weekly ATC prompts.

SUBMISSION PROCESS

Participants must upload their completed projects into the FEBRUARY Prize Draw Album  in the Scrapping Clearly Share and Inspire Facebook Group.

Please load your entries to this album by the end of the month to be in the running for the Prize box. Please note: Please edit your photo caption in Facebook to give us information about your project and inspiration.

At the end of each month, one overall winner will be chosen across all three challenges, based on creativity, adherence to the challenge brief and effort and originality.

We cannot wait to inspire and create with you this year!

'Beautiful In & Out' with Emma Zappone

 Hey there 🌞

Em with you today with another piece featuring One of LuckyFindings Imagery Sheets and of course RUBONS!!!!

This project is a loose play on the January Moodboard.

Gotta have a starting point hey?
I'm really loving this project on the natural 5x7 panel.

Hope this inspires a little.
I'm looking forward to next months challenges too.

More ATCs by Tracey B

 Good morning everyone,

how did you all go with the Australia Day crop challenges?   Hope you found time to get your craft on.

I finished off a couple of ATCs for this month: Water colour and Texture

For this ATC I firstly used some water colour paper and masked off using some skinning washi tape.

I dropped on some Kuretake water colours (wet on dry), fussy cut a Lucky Findings Artist Trading Collective Harlequin image and added some tulle, ribbon and beads.   Simples.

Products I've used include

Ink and a stencil

Tissue paper

Washi Tape

I sewed on some ribbon and then covered some of it with ink mixed with 13 @rts texture powder through a stencil

Impasto through another stencil

And then added my focal point: an image from Lucky Findings Artist Trading Collective - Painty Frida with a die cut flower and some threads behind and mounted on some thick cardboard for dimension.

If you haven't already done so, check out all the new Artist Trading Collective images.   There's something for everyone and they make creating super easy.

TFL

cheers

'Secret To Everyday Things' with Emma Zappone

Welcome!
Em with you all today 💛

To say that I love the Lucky Findings Imagery Sheets would be an understatement. These sheets of  inspiration are just perfect for any project you wish to create. Here I used the 'Map To Beauty' images.

This canvas has been created with a variety of Rub-ons and Tim Holtz products.
The colour tones are so very me and these images just spoke to me as soon as I saw them.

I kept my usual multi dimension layering to a minimum, which was very freeing. I feel this might be my way of creating this year.

So many options to tell a story.

I hope this brings a little inspiration to your day.

Em xx
