Welcome friends! Its Katie here to welcome you to the 13th Clearly Inspired Challenge. Before we get going I wanted to share a bit of change to the challenge. It allows your more time and it also means a BIGGER PRIZE.
Don't worry, we'll keep reminding you and of course this will give you time to enter multiple times which of course means a better chance of winning :)
With that... remember I said that there is going to be a bigger prize?
The prize is going to be your choice of the CHALLENGE MONTH'S New Release STAMP SETS or the following MONTH'S RELEASES.
That is one each of all the stamp sets released on the 1st of the month. It will be your choice whether it be May's releases or June's releases... talk about the agony of decision making.
***************************************************************************************
May's Challenge theme is all about the FLOWER. April brought us showers so it is up to us to bring those flowers.
Use a floral stamp, a floral background, floral embellishments, a card shaped like a flower... use your imagination.
*******************************************************************************************
Here are the basic details for our challenges, they are sweet and simple and
one of you will definitely go away with a prize.
- These challenges will occur the 1st Friday of the Month
- You have until the following 1st Friday of the next month to link your project using Mr. Linky (below)
- Challenges will vary each and every time
- Your work is important so there will be 5 Inspirational Cards/Projects chosen to be featured here.
- Use CDstamps if you have them... IF NOT PLEASE PLAY ANYWAY... use what you have!
- We even have a Free Digital Image for you to use as well. Click HERE with full instructions and a tutorial on how to use it.
- A PRIZE will be awarded to a randomly chosen winner of an entire set of New Release Stamps.

This Challenge will close on June 3rd and winner announced on June 4th along with the new challenge post.

Hi, love the challenge. The DT cards are wonderful. I linked one card a few days ago but, it is not here. So I am linking it again along with a second card. Hope that is alright.
