Our March Bella Muse and Tres Chic challenge winners!!!

First off let me thank all of you who participated in the first ever Bella Creations challenges!!! You all did a magnificent job and everyone of you are amazingly talented!!!! It is too hard to try and pick one winner and so I decided to use random organization to pick the winner from each challenge. I took and made a list of all names entered and numbered them by the order they were uploaded and then entered that number into the random organization box and hit calculate and the computer generated a number. I then went back to my list and whoever's name was beside that chosen number was our winner. I feel this was the fairest and easiest way of doing it........with that all being said here are the winners!!!!

March Bella Unique Challenge over at Bella Creations

A BRAND NEW CHALLENGE!!!

We are starting a new challenge for you ladies!! One that will help teach as well as inspire!!! Each month we will have a technique challenge for you and I will provide you the technique. All you must do to be eligible for this challenge is use this technique anywhere on your project, and upload a pic of your project to this thread.

Our first technique is either "Stamp Spotlighting" for all you non photo users out there or selective colorization. Okay, I know this sounds very technical, but it is actually very simple....all you will need for the selective colorization is two of the same photographs(both of the same image) and a pair of scissors and pop-dots. all you need to do is cut the main subject, or focal point from one photo...now take and pop dot that part over the top and in the exact same spot that it is on the main photo.

The Stamp spotlight is the same principle only using black ink and colored ink.

Here are the dt examples
