Happily Ever Challenged #8 - Old Glory



Hello friends, it's that time of month again. The time of the month that gives each and every one of you the opportunity to win a yummy goody, just for creating a project and stretching your creativity muscles! :) That's right... it's time for another Happily Ever Challenged (HEC)!!

This HEC is in honor of a flag that's near and dear to me. It's the flag that has flown for over 230 years! It's Old Glory. It's beautiful in its strength and it's noble in what it represents: a country that isn't afraid to fight for freedom, no matter what the cost may be.

Here's your chance to wish the U.S.A. a very happy birthday (July 4)! Even if you are not a citizen of the United States of America, I invite you to play along! :)

Here's the challenge (I'm sure you can see it coming):

You are to use three colors for your project (card, box, tag, quilt, WHATEVER):



(The gold background is just so you can see the "white" better! :) )

I'm not going to be TERRIBLY picky about the shades you choose, although I do ask that you keep them as "true" to the primary colors shown above as possible (ie. please consider NOT using: mauve, cream, and teal or hot pink, grey, and turquoise).  :)

Here are the usual guidelines:

1. You will post it on your blog or gallery.
2. You will then need to copy the URL of the BLOG POST (not your blog, but the actual post where you're featuring the project).
3. Add the URL and your NAME to the INLINKS below. :)
4. In your blog post, please direct others to this post so that they may participate!
5. The deadline is Wednesday, July 28 at around 3:00 PM PST.
6. I will choose a random number/winner then and post it.
7. The winner will have until Monday, August 2 to email me at happilyevercrafter at gmail dot com. If I don't receive an email by then, I'll re-draw a number and so on.
8. Only one entry per person, please. :)

As always, the winner will have the old GLORIOUS chance to win a *fanfare*
 
TEN DOLLAR PAPERTREY INK GIFT CERTIFICATE!!

I salute your efforts and want to thank you for playing along (if you choose to do so!) The more who play the more fun we have! :)

Happily Ever Yours,

I look forward to participating even though I'm in Canada. I did live in the US for 3 years. If I were still there, at least my PTI orders would have free shipping! *sigh*

I'm so glad that I finally had a chance to participate! Funny that I used some smudgy white pigment ink on a card for one of your challenges, Ted!
