Winners for Challenge #147

The lacy panel on this sketch seemed to spark everyone's creativity and we got some really great interpretations of that element! There was everything from ink splotches to embossed triangles,from gingham to horizontal swooshes with roses thrown in the mix as well! Well done everyone! It was so much fun to see what you did with that unusual sketch!

It was hard as usual but we managed to narrow it down to our two winners:

Our Top Pick is: Kristen Clothier 

Both elegant and rustic at the same time, Kristen's little copper bee looks right at home on the elegant paper doily. And those embossed copper triangles were a perfect choice for the lacy panel on the sketch! Throw in some texture with the burlap ribbon and you've got a wonderful design! Well done, Kristen!

And our Featured Artist is: Laurel Seabrook 

Laurel knocked it out of the park with her opulent rose design. She stamped and fussy cut that smile sentiment!! And fussy cut all those roses and leaves. But what caught the attention of the Design team were all the small details on Laurel's design like the stitching, the glitter embellishments and the beautiful choice of paper! Gorgeous!

Congratulations to our two winners, and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back tomorrow and check out our new challenge tomorrow! Think colour! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.
