Challenge #25 Anything Goes

Welcome to our 25th challenge here at Aurora Wings and it's a very special one to commemorate our 2-Year Anniversary!  It's hard to imagine that it's already been two fabulous years of inspiration and challenges, but time sure flies when you're having fun! So to celebrate, not only is the theme the very popular Anything Goes, BUT we are also DOUBLING THE PRIZES so you have DOUBLE the chances to WIN!  WooHoo!

PLEASE REMEMBER OUR RULES.  It breaks my heart when I have to delete a gorgeous creation for lack of compliance, but because we have random winners, that's the only fair thing to do.  Those using an AURORA WINGS IMAGE may enter up to THREE times, but those using a stamp from another company may only enter ONCE.  ALL creations must have a hand colored digital or rubber stamp to be eligible.

Our prizes THIS month will include:

2 (two) Artist's Choice Award Winners to be selected from entries using Aurora Wings digis ($20 GC and Badge)

2 (two)  Random Winners ($20 GC)

TOP 6 Winners to be chosen by the DT ($10 GC and Badge)

We're thrilled to have Myndi Fraser, from Colour My Hearts, joining us as Guest Designer for this special challenge today.

Myndi using Orchid Fairy

Laila using Ghost Bride

Charlene using Snow Queen

Silvia using Sea Spirit and Weedy Sea Dragons

Debbie using Steampunk Owl

Karola using Whimsical Cupcake Sprite

Donna using Slow Loris in Leaves

available ONLY with a $10 donation or more to

the Friends of Aurora Wings Slow Loris Fundraiser

Gloria  using Sea Turtle Kiss

The challenge will be open at 9:00 am EST Monday March 21st and close at 11:55 pm Saturday April 2nd 2016. Entries posted prior to March 21st 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.  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 special FB coloring challenge on our Facebook Group page for those participating in our Slow Loris Fundraiser, so you are welcome to post your appropriate entries there through April 10th.  Thank you for your understanding. 

However, if you do not have a blog and would still like to enter this challenge,  please email me at donnamundinger(at)gmail(dot)com with your name, a picture of your entry and Aurora Wings Challenge #25 in the subject line, and I will add it to the Linky so you can participate. Hopefully this will accommodate everyone.  xx
