Winners for Challenge #177 - Greetings for Guys

I just love Collection Challenges. It always just amazes me how everyone can be given all the same design elements and then have their cards turn out so differently, each one so beautiful in its own right! It's also great to see a collection of masculine cards. We never have enough of those designs. Am I right? Let's see who the Design Team chose this week as our Top Pick and Featured Artist:

Our Top Pick is: Stampin' Sendable Sentiments

The crisp look of the navy and white were what initially grabbed the Design Team's attention on this cleverly designed masculine card. It was different to see the wood grain embossed in white cardstock and the little scene created on the square and framed with navy cardstock and that amazing navy corduroy ribbon sealed the deal! The navy die cut sentiment was the icing on the cake!

And our Featured Artist is: Julie Gearinger

                                                                       

All of us enjoyed the different look of Julie's masculine design. Her stamp set creating the diverse male avatars was so much fun and Julie used it so skillfully here. The background trees and the woodgrain panel were a perfect backdrop and we especially loved that little buckle on the brown ribbon! Well played, Julie!

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