<div style="line-height: 22.4px;">
<span style="color: #4e2800; font-family: "molengo";"><span style="background-color: white;">Welcome to our first and last challenge for 2017 here on The Mixed Media Card Challenge blog. After 2 1/2 years, it's time to say goodbye.</span></span> Many mixed media challenge blogs have sprouted since MMCC started mid-2014 and it makes me glad to see so many crafters incorporate mixed media in their cards. <span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; font-family: "molengo"; font-size: 16px;">On behalf of the MMCC design team, I'd like to thank you all for playing in our monthly challenges.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; font-family: Molengo; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; font-family: Molengo; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">
<span style="line-height: 22.4px;">Our final challenge theme is quite apropos: <b>CHANGE</b>. The optional element is <b>water</b>. </span>We hope you'll have a go at creating a mixed media card showing how you interpret the theme with or without the optional element. </div>

Welcome to a brand new challenge here at The Mixed Media Card Challenge! <span style="line-height: 22.4px;">For our challenge this month, the theme is <b>BLACK AND PURPLE</b>, and optional element: <b>twine</b>. The theme's pretty easy, right? Create a mixed media card with just those two colors OR you can use those two colors together with other colors! </span>We hope you'll have a go at creating a mixed media card that follows the theme with or without twine. The team can't wait to see what beauties you'll be linking up!</div>

<div style="line-height: 22.4px;">
Welcome to a brand new challenge here at The Mixed Media Card Challenge! <span style="line-height: 22.4px;">For our challenge this month, the theme is <b>HARVEST BASKET</b>, and optional element: <b>FRUIT</b>. Work with however you interpret the theme: feature a basket in your card, use colors reminiscent of autumn/fall, include things that you would put in <i>your</i> own basket, and so on. We hope you'll have a go at creating a mixed media card that follows the theme with or without fruit. The team can't wait to see what beauties you'll be linking up!</span></div>

Welcome to a brand new challenge here at The Mixed Media Card Challenge! <span style="line-height: 22.4px;">For our challenge this month, the theme is <b>RAINBOW</b>, and optional element: <b>DRAGONFLIES</b>. Work with however you interpret the theme: add a rainbow, use all or some of the colors of the rainbow, include the word "rainbow" or use a sentiment about rainbows... We hope you'll have a go at creating a mixed media card that follows the theme with or without dragonflies. The team can't wait to see what beauties you'll be linking up!</span></div>

<div style="color: #4e2800; font-family: Molengo; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.4px;">
Welcome to a brand new challenge here at The Mixed Media Card Challenge! <span style="line-height: 22.4px;">For our challenge this month, the theme is <b>SPARKLE</b>, and optional element: <b>GEMS</b>. Lots of ways you can go with the theme -- use mediums that make your card sparkle; go with ink or paint colors whose names suggest sparkle (e.g., gold, silver, sapphire); include an object that sparkles or the word "sparkle". We hope you'll have a go at creating a mixed media card that follows the theme with or without gems. The team can't wait to see what beauties you'll be linking up!</span></div>
