Challenge #29 Clean and Simple

Welcome to our 29th Challenge here at Aurora Wings.  Our theme this time, hosted by the Aurora Team, is Clean and Simple.  We want to see projects with a minimum of fuss, one main focal point, and limited (or no) layers and embellishments.

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:

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're so happy to have Aurora Marco joining us as Guest Designer for our CAS Challenge.

 "Hi, my name is Aurora and I live in Spain.

I’ve always been into handcrafts and I love playing with fabric, ribbons, buttons and thread. 
On the summer of 2013, I decided to learn how to use the Copic markers that my husband bought me some years ago. 

Since then I haven’t stopped using them, and with them came a whole world of images for colouring and projects in which apply all the techniques and materials that I could think off, which you can see on my blog www.themillersdaughter.es."
