Challenge #203 - "Complimentary" Colours
We all have them - those items of clothing that we gravitate to because they are comfortable and we look good in them. And often, if we look at our favourite clothes, they have a distinct colour palette, too! We're drawn to certain colours and we often get compliments when we wear them. Our challenge this time, by the creative Amy Jasper, is a "Fill In The Blank" Challenge with "My favourite colour to wear is __________." Just fill in the blank and then make a project based on that colour or colours. Let us know in your post how you filled in the blank! And just wait for those compliments to flood in!
And what colours are favourites of our Design Team?

Winners for Challenge #202 - Radiant
We're glowing! We loved your entries for our colour challenge #202 so much, that our faces are reflecting the corals and yellows of your designs.... uh no, wait! That's from the full moon this week. Anyway, we had our typical debate picking the most radiant of all of your lovely entries and here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Nora from A Creative Touch
The Design Team were awed by how radiant her stenciled flowers looked and we loved the way she picked up the colours again in the Happy sentiments! And the contrast with the birthday die cut pulled everything together! Masterful, Nora!
And our Featured Artist is: Karen Ksenzakovic
Karen just nailed this colour challenge, using the colours as a sunset silhouette. And the scene she created is so beautiful with the cyclist by the lake with the sunset reflected in it! Gorgeous! The Design Team were blown away by the precise stamping done by Karen for the silhouettes, especially with such an intense ink colour! She designed a card that conveys such serenity! Well done!
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back and check out our new fill in the blank challenge tomorrow! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

Challenge #202 - Radiant
The flowers in this inspiration photo remind me of a plant we have in this part of the world that we used to call a rock rose when we were kids, but the correct name is bitterroot. Although the flowers were pink, not yellow, they had the same luminous quality. And when the ground was covered with them, during their bloom, it looked radiant! So that's what we're calling this colour challenge, put together by the brilliant Jan Clothier, which consists of colours of the sunrise plus a dark forest colour as contrast - Radiant! Let your radiance shine forth, crafters!
Let's see how the Design Team radiated:

Winners for Challenge #201 - Pivotal
We were so happy to have you make the pivotal decision to circle back to our Challenge page and enter our first challenge post Amanda's designing. We were very stoked to get your beautiful entries and after circling around the final decision for a bit, we were ready to settle on our winners. Here they are:
Our Top Pick is: A Stampin' Holiday
The Design Team really loved this sketch done in whites and light greens! It gave it such a bright and airy, sophisticated look! The script background added to the glamour, while the gold text complimented that! This project nailed the sketch!
And our Featured Artist is: Anita Trippi
Anita created a truly unique take on our sketch this week with a swath of coloured embossing paste for the vertical element and a unique ribbon border on the bottom that is so cool! She also created her own striped paper from a stamp. Done in shades of blue with a little yellow, this card stole the hearts of the Design Team this week! Well done, Anita!
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back and check out our new colour challenge tomorrow! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.
