The Mixed Media Card Challenge #24 {Sunset}

Welcome to a brand new challenge here at The Mixed Media Card Challenge! For our challenge this month, the theme is SUNSET, and optional element: POSTAGE STAMP. Lots of ways you can go with the theme -- your card can feature a sunset and even shadows; you can create a card with the colors of the sunset (yellows, oranges, reds); or you can include the word "sunset" in your card. So have a go at creating a mixed media card that follows the theme with or without a postage stamp. The team can't wait to see what beauties you'll be linking up!

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 June 25, 11:55 p.m. Pacific  time.
