Mothers & Daughters Creations Thursday Challenge and a great announcement!!!

Happy Thursday everyone, time for another M&D Creations Challenge, this time a sketch challenge. The sketch this time courtesy of Page Maps. Don't forget to stop at MDC Challenge Blog and have the chance to win great prizes.
The sentiment in my card was stamped in a piece of chipboard which I colored first with Blue Craft Ink, after it was dried I stamped the sentiment with Basic Brown Ink. For the flower I glued a piece of forget me not Paper onto the chipboard and then sanded the borders.
I hope you like it and play along with us.

Mothers & Daughters Creations DT Call

Mothers & Daughters Creations is looking for new members Card Design Team members! If you're interested in our design team tryouts, here's what you need to do:

1. Start playing the weekly challenges
2. Submit three other cards and one altered project to us at MDCreations.tlm@gmail.com . These do not have to be made special for this call - we just want to see what you think your best work is. Please make sure to reduce your picture size to below 600x600 pixels!
3. In your email, include your name, contact information, your blog or gallery link, and answers to the following questions:-How long have you been stamping or cardmaking?-Do you design for any other web stores or sites; if so, please provide links.-Why are you trying out for the MDC Design Team?-How did you hear about the MDC DT search?
4. All entries are due by November 30th. Winners will be announced December 4th!

The following tips might be helpful:
1. Photography counts! We'd like the work you upload to be easy to see and professional looking.
2. We're looking for someone who can upload the weekly challenge, along with additional random layouts on a fairly regular basis.
3. We're looking for designers who are fairly flexible with their creations; of course, we'll probably be picking you based on your unique 'style', but if a challenge calls for a break away from that, a good designer should be capable of adapting. In addition, you should be comfortable working on altered items and/or home decor items.
4. If you do design for another store, the product lines they carry should be different from what MDC carries.
5. DT term will be for six months. During that time, you will be offered discounts and special promotions not available to other customers. In addition, we'll link your blog and promote your work as much as possible!
