As I mentionned at the beginning of the month of June...I've decided to get some fun action happening in our Etsy Team...and I thought why not do a monthly color theme challenge? We are a bunch of very talented ladies...The color challenge will always be accompanied by a photos to help with inspiration! So, if you want to participate...During this Month, when you create something new for your shop...just keep in mind the color challenge! All colors from the challenge are required in your project! A challenge need to be a bit challenging! :D

All you have to do is to add your creation in the link below before the due date. (you need to have it link to a Blog or your Etsy shop.) For this Month, Andrea Baker's Etsy shop will be giving as prize a fantastic Business Cards cozy that you can found in these 2 sections of her lovely shop:
