Carabelle challenge!

'My Stamp' and 'We love' by Carabelle Studio

OOh! I love a good challenge :-) And a new challenge has just been announced by Carabelle Studio for the month of November - to create a mini Artist Trading postage stamp every day. Don't worry if you don't have the stamp - it just needs to be 4.5 x6 cm. So tiny! That means it's a really manageable challenge. I just LOVE creating small!





Working so small really does make you think that little bit harder, and encourages you to use your stamp in different ways. 

You don't have to use the WHOLE image every time .... just saying ;-)



And for scale, here it is in my hand. So small and cute!


I've got a few backgrounds prepped and ready to go. I have got literally hundreds of tiny off-cuts of Gel Press prints and I just *knew* they would come in useful one day.


Here's the official Carabelle Studio blurb:

Do you want to stay tuned?
Well here is our challenge proposed by the carabelle team .
30 days to explore the tiny format.
30 various and varied themes
Techniques are free but you will be entitled to small videos, from time to time, at our will.

2 requirements
- Size: 4,5 x 6 CM
- it must look like a stamp.
You can share your creation on your page with the hashtags #30daysofatstamps and #atstampswithcarabelle

But also, if you wish, join us on the group Les Cara {friends} (ON FACEBOOK)
So, ready to follow us?

    1. Hi Monica, Carabelle is stocked by Joggles in the USA but as this stamp is newly released it may not have made its way there yet. You could try Carabelle direct: https://www.artstamp.fr/tampon-a7-my-stamp-carabelle-studio,fr,4,SA70156.cfm
      To join the challenge you don't *have* to use this stamp - you art just needs to measure 4.5x6cm. Hope that helps, Kate
