MayzyArt Challenge #015

Hello everyone and welcome to the new challenge!

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY, AS THE CHALLENGE IS CHANGING SLIGHTLY.

I'm making a couple of small changes to the MayzyArt Challenge.  I am hoping that they will not negatively affect anyone in any way, but will make the challenge fairer and more enjoyable!

1. Challenges will be posted Sunday instead of Saturday.  (This is for my convenience more than anything, as I'm generally more busy on Saturday.)  As such, entries will be due the preceding Friday, rather than Thursday.

2. You may still enter as many times as you like (provided entries are new works posted between the start and finish of the current challenge), however entries MUST contain a significant, hand-colored, stamped image.  This doesn't have to be a Mayzy stamp.  It can be digital, physical or self-drawn (ok, that's not really stamped, but still works for me), but it must be a central focus of the card.

3. Previously, the first place winner got 3 MayzyArt stamps and the grand prize winner got 5.  Now the winners will be getting gift codes for the MayzyArt shop in the amounts of $8 and $15 respectively.  You get bigger prizes and the ability to take advantage of special offers in the shop.  Good, right?

If you have any questions about these changes, feel free to comment below or, if you prefer, contact me at mayzyart@gmail.com

Now, on to the show!

The theme is

Grow

As you can see from our Design Team entries, this can be interpreted in many different ways!

Rules Reminder:

-The MayzyArt Challenge is open to anyone!  Entries can by Anything Goes, but extra points are awarded for using the inspirational theme. All entries MUST include a hand-colored, stamped image, though it does not need to be a MayzyArt image.  Stamped images can be digital, physical or hand-drawn but must be a central focus of the card.

-You may enter as many times as you would like, but please only enter with new cards created and posted during the contest time frame. 

- In order to enter, post a link to your blog post featuring the project.  Please be sure that you list on that post that you wish to enter the project into the MayzyArt Challenge.

- There will be two winners of the MayzyArt Challenge!  The first winner will be drawn at random from all entrants.  That winner will receive an $8 discount code for mayzyart.com.  The second winner will be chosen only from those entrants that used a MayzyArt stamp in their project.  It will be selected specifically by Mayzy and will be featured for the following two weeks on this blog.  That winner will also receive a $15 discount code for mayzyart.com!

- Entries must be received by Friday, April 26th.  The winner will be announced on April 27th.

So much to do!

Sorry for the big delay on the new challenge!  If you are a member of the Facebook group (and why wouldn't you be??), then you'll know things have been a little crazy for me and then... well, then I needed sleep.  LOL!

So we've got two announcements for this post and then I'll put up the next challenge.

First we have the winners of the MayzyArt Challenge #014!  

First place goes to:

Alexandra!

Grand prize goes to:

Pinky!

And now, the winner of the Facebook Banner Contest, who will receive a custom stamp of whatever they want (almost), is....

Stay tuned for the new challenge, and be sure to read the description as there are a few changes to the rules and prizes!!

You'll love this stamp set!

Tired of looking for that perfect stamp to reflect a certain couple?  Look no further!

This great set comes with three gents and three ladies (each in both left and right position) so you can mix and match them into whatever pair you prefer!   Mix-an-Match to your heart's content!

If this set proves popular, I may make future kissing sets that can be paired with this one!

No Foolin'!

Happy April Fool's Day!

It's no joke, use the promotional code FOOL in the MayzyArt.com shop in the next 24 hours and get 25% off!!  And while you're at it, check out the two new stamps!

Contest Time!

Hey y'all, we're having a contest!

I would like to have a customer created banner for my Facebook group.  The banner chosen will earn its creator one CUSTOM stamp.  That means that you get to tell me what to draw and I will draw it just for you!  This stamp is yours to use and distribute as you like, it will NOT go in my shop!

RULES:

1. The banner must use at least one MayzyArt stamp.  I hope this is a given. @_@

2. The banner must be 802 x 255 pixels.  This is the dimension of the Facebook group banner.

3.  The banner must say 'MayzyArt' somewhere on it (readable, please).  It can say other things, but that should stand out.

4. Contest entries must be posted to the Facebook Banner Contest photo folder in the Facebook group.  This means that you must be a member of the group to enter.  This also means that if you post your entry somewhere else, it may not be considered.

5. No more than 3 entries per person.

6. Winner is selected by me, but I encourage you to show your support for your favorite banners by hitting the like button!

7. The custom stamp prize will follow my custom stamp policies as outlined in the FAQs.  This prize has a value of $30- that means one figure for your custom stamp.  If you would like to expand on that prize, I would be happy to take an order for a larger custom stamp with a $30 discount.  In case you're too eager to get started on your banner to bother to check the policies (I understand), I'll post those policies here:

• Pricing would start at $30 for a single image (one person, animal, etc) with $10 for additional images.  This would be a personal stamp that would belong only to you and would never be offered in my shop. 

• IMPORTANT: Contacting me about a personal stamp order does not guarantee that I will accept the commission!  I know my limitations as an artist and if I do not feel that I would be able to provide you a quality product, I will regretfully decline.  Additionally, please be aware that I reserve the right to refuse a commission that would be contrary to my values (ie nudity, blatant sexuality, or anything that condones hate or disrespect for another living being). 

8. Entries will be accepted through April 10th.

I hope to see many entries!
