Are You A Rebel?

Welcome to the Hambo Hoedown! Each week we draw randomly to recognize one participant from the previous week's challenge entries. That special person becomes Queen of the Hoedown for a week! This week's Queen is 10. Dawn (always crafting) ! Congratulations Dawn! Grab the winner's button for your blog, Dawn, and be sure to email Monica at info@hambostamps.com for your choice of any digi from the store.

We loved seeing all the ways that Mosquito "bugged" you with color you don't use very often! Thank you for playing along with our challenges! This week's challenge will appeal to all those rebels out there......or maybe you know one that this image will be PERFECT for! 
This image is not available free, unless you played in last week's challenge and received it via email.  Buy it HERE!
Challenge: It's time to get out the sewing maching for some stitching!! Don't sew, you say? You REBEL! How about faux stitching then? Using REBEL and the sentiment, create a project using stitching! (faux, machine, hand)

Our awesome Bacon Bits have come up with some fabulous designs to share with you to get the mojo going!

Watch Out for Mono Mosquito!

Watch out for Mono Mosquito! No, he doesn't have mono  - he IS mono! Monochromatic, that is!

This week's challenge is to use MOSQUITO (or any other Hambo image), and make a monochromatic card using a color YOU DON'T NORMALLY USE. You can use neutral colors as well, but the focus of your card should be shades of ONE COLOR that is not common in your work.
This image is not available free, unless you played in last week's challenge and received it via email.  Buy it HERE!
