Here is my card for the Starving Artistamps Swedish Collage Challenge I used my new Halloween II GraveYard Shift set & sentiments with Fredo. He reminds me of the dia de los muertos figurines but oh so cute!! Since I was to use a BOLD mix of patterned papers, I thumbed through all my DCWV stacks & pulled colors that surprisingly looked nice together but were funky enough that I wouldn't 'normally' put together. I stamped Fredo in my retired Parfait spectrum pads (pinks/purples) and also smooshed my boo chipboard letters in it too. Then I decided to glitter them up with the glue pad & dazzling diamonds since I was using my glitter paper. I finished it off with a chipboard & orange button layer and an orange bling by the sentiment. I thought at first this would definitely be a 'challenge' and it was but suprisingly had a LOT of fun making it!!Details of the Contest:
The challenge will run until October 1st. Everyone who participates will be put into the raffle and one person will be chosen by random number generator to win YOUR CHOICE of one FULL SHEET of Starving Artistamps or DoodleFactory unmounted rubber stamps!

There are several key points which regularly appear in Swedish collage style stamping...
- the shape of the card is SQUARE
- a bold mix of PATTERN PAPERS is used
- CHIPBOARD titles (in any language!), BUTTONS and/or STAPLES are often incorporated into the design
- COLOR COLOR COLOR the more color the better! (this is not your regular vintage style collage frequently done in the states! Ban the brown!)
