January 28 - Darkle Challenge

January 28: Darkle Challenge

Hello everyone!! Woohoo!! You are almost there...you can do it!!

I am so excited to be here for Day 28 to bring you a brand new challenge this year, inspired and designated by the ever creative Justine @bellbird

Without further ado, here is the Darkle Challenge!! Here at the Lilypad, we have redefined this word to mean a dark background with sparkling, glittery, shiny elements.
Dark + Sparkle = Darkle...get it??

The requirements for this challenge are relatively simple...
1. You must use a dark background paper – it can be patterned, but it must be dark.
2. 75% of your elements must be either metallic, shiny or sparkly/glittery. Anything other than your picture or journaling will be counted as an element.
3. 75% of your elements must be clustered around your picture(s)...no pocket pages will be allowed!!


Here is the layout I made for this challenge



And check out some of these awesome samples from our amazing Pollys!!
The pages may not be available to see until they have been moved to a public gallery...patience please

Pages should contain at least 75% current Lilypad product (currently for sale in the store from either permanent designers or guest designers).

I can't wait to see the all the beautiful darkle pages you guys come up with!!

 

This post saved for clarification and questions!!

Is it kosher to use styles to add the metallic glitz, or does the original element need to be metallic?
You can definitely use styles to add the metal or glitter!!! I know that we have a few designers that make some amazing ones!!
