Hello Third Coasters!
It's TGIF time and you know what that means! Time for a new Third Coast Creative Challenge! There's only 33 days until the scariest Night of the Year and the Third Coast Creative Coterie will be scaring your socks off in style ;0)
The Third Coast Coterie Blog is participating in the 4th Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop as a Wicked Blogger so be sure to check in each day for the chance to win Smeared and Smudged prizes!
and
Members of the Coterie design team and other Wicked Artists are also participating in DominoART's 2nd 31 Days of Halloween Spooktacular event too! But the fun doesn't end there coz my DominoART Blog is also a Wicked Blogger in the Smeared and Smudged Blog Hop! Woohoo!
October is going to be bristling with the scariest eye candy and oozing with Prizes!
But of course we're not waiting for October to start our Halloween stamping here at Third Coast Creaive Challenges so on to our next challenge!
Non-Traditional Halloween
A 'Colour Twist within a Twist' Challenge!
I'm looking for any Halloween creations that have a non-traditional colour scheme and the extra twist is you're banned from using the colours Purple, Lime Green and Orange! I DO NOT want to see even a smidgen of those 3 colours...(insert evil laugh) ;0)
But I'm not completely evil coz you CAN use Black but it must NOT be the dominant colour!
No how's that for a challenge...whose up for it?
Need help wrapping your zombie brains around the concept of Non-Traditional then here's some inspiration from the freakishly talented Third Coast Creative Coterie!

Please remember to follow our few simple challenge rules!
The most important being:
*only entries using Third Coast stamps qualify for the prizes and Coterie Top 3.
Please put TCRS after your name when you link up so we know you did (if you forget then include TCRS when you leave your comment).
*Same goes if you'd like to be considered to receive a Spotlight Guest Designer invitation, put SGD after your name.
*You MUST rubber stamp at least one element in your project to play in our challenges!
*Please leave a comment after you link up - we love hearing from you!
*Your project must be new, i.e. published on or after the start date of the challenge!
*You must mention our Challenge blog in your blog post or in the photo description if using Facebook and include the challenge title with a direct link to this post! If you don't have any way of sharing your art you can share your entry with us on Third Coast's Facebook page and link up from there.
Please play fair...any entries that don't follow the challenge theme or our few simple rules will be removed!

Important Note: This is what the Linky Tools page looks like.
Please note that for this particular linky tool I need you to put your name or your nickname in the #2 field that says 'caption or title'. This is what will appear beneath the thumbnail of your entry! I've filled in the other fields so you know what to type there too! If linking up to a photo on Facebook the option to select from the Web in the section #4 won't work, you must use the From File option and upload the pic from your computer. Click on the Linky Tool photo to enlarge it!
