Submission Call for October/November 2012
Do you love to color or paint on all your projects? Do you get comments on your manicure only to look down and see that it's really ink and paint from your crafty adventures? Is your passion for all things colorful so powerful that you have no idea how to make a project without a colored image? If you said yes to any of these, then you NEED to submit to our second submission call here at Designed To Color!
Sketch:
In
every issue, we provide a sketch for you to have fun and play around
with! Remember, just b/c you see squares and other elements does not
mean you have to copy them completely. Have fun and come up with your
own design based on this sketch!
Color Watch:
The color we are drooling over this time is Rhapsody. It is a shade of purple that is not to be
missed. It has a subtle tone yet it pops
with fun! Let’s see what awesome
creations you can make with this fun color!
Trending Mark:
Paint, we all have it and we all love it! Yes we can make old items look new and
gorgeous again with a fresh coat of paint.
But here at Designed To Color, we want to get funky with it! Take that paint and splatter it around! Fling it, flick it, and splash it! We want to see your coloring creations using
paint splatters!
Falling for Fall:
The heat of summer starts to dim and the cool, brisk breeze
of autumn fill our days. It’s time to
bust out those happy earth tones and gorgeous autumn stamps! Show us what Fall creations you can make.
Happy Halloween:
Let’s get spooky! We
want to see what fun Halloween creations you can make! But please, don’t use too much fake blood, we
have weak tummies.
Get Well Soon:
With the temperature changing, that means one thing. The sickies are coming! From teachers to students and even your best
friend at work, no one is immune! Let’s
see some cheerful get well cards.
Have something to Say?
We want to hear from YOU! Dear DTC
