Challenge #239 - Not My Jam

This week's challenge is a fill in the blank challenge. You complete the sentence by filling in the blank, then you make your project based on the words you used to fill in the blank. Do you have a colour that you always avoid? One that is just not your jam? That is this week's challenge, using the colour you always avoid! How would you fill in the blank? Now, take on the challenge of making something amazing with it! Are you up for it??!! Face your fears!! And make sure to tell us, in your blog post, how you Filled in the Blank!

Winners for Challenge #238 - Aura

There was definitely an aura in our challenge gallery this time, with so many beautiful entries that the Design Team's collective mind was absolutely blown! Those colours made for the most amazing images!  It was so hard to choose winners, but that is what our job is, so here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Nicole Wilson 

Nicole has used a variety of techniques in her beautiful card, from stamping her own designer paper in the background, to brayer blending a layer from black to basic gray, then spritzing with shimmer paint and dry embossing and finally using alcohol makers to oolour. She has used the challenge colours to their top advantage in a way that really caught our eyes!

Our Featured Artist is: dj at Sendable Sentiments

These colours were perfect for a sunset silhouette and dj really did this concept proud with her colourfully patterned sky and dark tree outlines! The black ribbon and the Basic Gray die cut tree outline really create a bold foreground and the illusion of depth. Congratulations, dj.

                                                      

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:

3. Christine Blain

4. Mary Deatherage

5. Sona D.

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come and check out our new Fill In The Blank Challenge tomorrow morning on our blog! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

Challenge #238 - Aura

 It's time for another Colour Challenge and our Design Team member, Jan came up with this beauty! It's almost "other worldly". I don't know if I would have ever thought of putting all four of these colours together but they are so amazing as a combo! I've called this challenge aura, and we're interested in seeing what kind of aura your creation projects!

Remember, if you don't have the Stampin' Up! colours, use the colours you have that are the closest. Your project should use only these colours and 1 neutral.

Here's what the Design Team were projecting this week:

Amy Jasper

Heather Cooper

Jan Clothier

Jane Knudsen

Joanne James

LeAnne Pugliese

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
• Stampin' Up! colours are used for reference but any matching colours are welcome. You can use black/neutral for outlines and sentiments but don’t use any other colours.
• Please include the challenge graphic and link back to the   challenge in your blog post. Turn off word verification so we   can send you lots of feedback. Make sure you link the post not the whole blog to the Linky. Use #AYSI238 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

Winners for Challenge #237

 I may be biased, but I thought we had some of the loveliest cards in our Sketch Challenge Gallery this week!! We hope you enjoyed putting your slant on our sketch! We looked at the entries from all angles and finally came up with some winners! Without further ado, here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Gayle Chrvala 

Gayle found the loveliest embossing folder to enhance her crisp white split background for this challenge and layered it over a mango cardstock to give a fall ambience to her sunflower card. We loved the look of her layered zenflowers and the cheery hello over polka dots! What a welcome to the autumn!

Our Featured Artist is: Cindi Copeland 

Cindi's card looks just like a cozy gift sweater all wrapped in a bow for Christmas! The Design Team loved the cable knit embossing and thought the touch of tulle was brilliant. The vanilla and cream palette is such a clean, warm look, too! We wanted to fetch our sweaters just looking at it!

                                                      

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mention on her site:

8. LindaCrea   

9. Heather Heroldt

13. Terry H.
