Saturday Challenge; Chiaroscuro, a study in contrast.


This week has been full of contrast for me. Highs and Lows. I feel like the quiet times in life make everything seem more vivid. Contrast can be light and dark or even something that brings more clarity. Aka Cinders made a treasury full of red and black and white and I loved it. I love drama and high contrast.


SATURDAY CHALLENGE: Chiaroscuro
Are you ready for the challenge?

The Rules:

  1. Use at least 8 Curation Nation members. The list is on the right of this blog so you can click over and have a look around. They can be in any slot on the treasury.
  2. Follow our blog (please).
  3. Put "Treasury Challenge" somewhere in the title of your treasury.
  4. Link back to this post. This helps other people find the challenge and enter.
  5. Post a comment here with the link to your treasury.
  6. Please make your treasury in Treasury East.
  7. Tag the treasury "curation nation".
  8. Tag the treasury "CNCHALLENGE".
  9. Tag the treasury "chiaroscuro".
If a friend refers you- please mention who did in your entry- then they will also get the prize. Curation Nation Members- try to include your teammates? Not a team member? You can still win. I hope everyone I know enters. Several times. and I hope that the treasuries make the front page. Just a tip: Don't include yourself. You won't win. Follow the guidelines Etsy sets out for making treasuries.
The voting is usually narrowed down to a few treasuries that fall in the guidelines and then anyone can vote for a winner!

You have until Saturday and good luck!
