October Special Event: All Gored Up

We at Aurora Wings hope you are enjoying the opportunity to dabble in the dark side with our "A Touch of Darkness Challenge" still going on through October 18th.  But now that you've dipped your toes in the brackish pond, we invite you to take the PLUNGE and swim with the BIG DOGS!!  Our "All Gored Up Challenge" is a special event, and not for the timid, mind you.  We want to see BLOOD (and guts, or whatever floats your boat).  This is your chance to really let your inner demons out and scare us to DEATH!  You may use one of the already "dark" images or bloody up one of Mitzi's more delicate ones, but creativity is a must here.  We've got some seasoned "darkies" on the team who are hard to impress.  LOL  And of course, any creations posted here will also be eligible for "A Touch of Darkness" through Oct 18th as well.  But we expect more than "A Touch" of Darkness for this special Challenge.  Do you dare?

Those using an Aurora Wings image may enter up to THREE times, but those of you choosing a stamps from another company must limit your entry to ONE.  And please remember, we DO need to see a hand colored digital or rubber stamp , to be eligible. 

Our prizes each month will include:

1 (one) Artist's Choice Award Winner to be selected from entries using Aurora Wings digis ($20 GC and Badge)

1 (one) Random Winner ($20 GC)

Top 3 Winners to be chosen by the DT ($10 GC and Badge)

We have a special Guest joining us for this challenge who is no stranger to the "Dark Side".  Please welcome Teresa Morgan for this special challenge.

And now for some gory DT inspiration.

The challenge will be open at 9:00 am EDT October 1st and close at 11:55 pm Friday October 31st. Entries posted prior to October 1st will be deleted. All entries must have a hand colored digital or rubber stamp on their completed project to be eligible. Please follow the chosen theme. ONE entry per person if not using an Aurora Wings image, THREE entry limit if ALL entries include an Aurora Wings stamp. You may enter your project in as many other challenges as desired. Please link to your POST address, NOT your BLOG address and link back to the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog. We would greatly appreciate you removing word verification and switching to comment moderation if you fear spam. In fairness to all, those not following the rules will be deleted. Thank you for your understanding and please have fun. We look forward to your fabulous creations.

Also, because of the difficulties we have experienced with Facebook entries, I regret that we will no longer be accepting them on the Challenge Blog.  I'm so sorry, but we do have a Colors of Halloween Challenge, also beginning today, on our Facebook Group page, so you are welcome to post your appropriate entries there through October 31st, as well.  Thank you for your understanding. 

However, if you do not have a blog and would still like to enter the challenge,  please email me at dlmundinger(at)gmail(dot)com with your name, a picture of your entry and Aurora Wings All Gored Up Challenge in the subject line, and I will add it to the Linky so you can participate. Hopefully this will accommodate everyone.  xx
