New Art Challenge & New Specials!

Art Challenge of the Week: Play with Pink and Blue!

I made these fun ATCs for our recent Art Blast swap (inspired by our Art Blast Playing Cards). You can find them in the new Chixies Art Blast Collection. And you can also get them in our new bonus gift that's being offered for the next 2 weeks only.

To make them, I simply cut out ARTchix images (the ones that are available in our special kit) and glued them down to our ATC blanks with a glue stick. Lastly, I added a few rub-ons and defined my edges with watercolor crayon. These were so much fun to make and they came togther really quickly! Now I've decided that I'm in love with pink and blue! I can't wait to play with this color combination some more!

How to play in this art challenge: Make a piece of art (any size or shape) and play with pink and blue. Then scan and post it to your blog, flickr account or website. Next, click on "comment" at the bottom of this post and leave a note with a link to your art challenge post so I know where to see it online. In addition, please link back to my blog. 

If you don't have a website or blog or anything, please post your artwork for this challenge to our YahooGroup: Photos: Helga's Blog: Weekly Art Challenge.

Deadline: Tuesday morning, July 7, 2009.

Prize: My favorite will receive the new Chixies Art Blast Collection. I will announce the winner on Wed, July 8.

So can I play if it doesn't have ArtCHIX images on it? I just finished a really cool piece where the primary colors used are pink and blue, but for once I don't have any ArtCHIX images in it.

Here is the collage I just finished, it definitley makes use of pink and blue.

As Lenna says-you've done it again and inspired me! I've made something to cool off all us hot chix!!It's in the Yahoo group album. I must go check the others now. I don't expect to win, however, if I did I wish to pay it forward and give the goodies to someone else as I already have that wonderful collection :)Linda

Hi Helga!

I'm new and this is my first contest/posting/challenge. I love everything here and there are so many talented artists to learn from. I thought finding Artchix was hot, to find your blog and this community is really amazing! Thanks so much for creating such a great forum for inspiring creative endeavors in others.

I posted my pink and blue offering in the Yahoo groups under my user name Bettanee.

Cheers!
Beth

Check out my entry for the pink and blue challenge if you get the chance. I was too late getting it in but I thought you could look at it anyway. Had fun making it though. I want to try and do more of your weekly blog challenges when I have the time.

Loved your ATCs by the way.
