The Mixed Media Card Challenge #8 {Love}

Hello, mixed media card artists! It's a brand new month which means we're starting a new challenge here at The Mixed Media Card Challenge. This month, our theme is "LOVE". Lots of ways to interpret that theme. "Buttons" is an optional element.



HOW TO PLAY
1. Create a mixed media CARD based on the theme, with or without the optional element.
2. Display the challenge graphic on your blog post and link back to this challenge post.
3. You may enter as many times as you want, as long as each entry is different.
4. You may combine a maximum of 7 challenges (6 other challenges plus ours).
5. Submit your projects by February 25, 11:55 p.m. PST (GMT -8).
6. We'll announce the winner and highlights on February 28.


How did we interpret the theme? Take a look below. We hope our mixed media cards inspire you to play along with us! We look forward to seeing your beautiful cards!
