I think as crafters we are all animal lovers too, because our Fill in the Blank Challenge #256 - Zoology, about our favourite animals struck a stamping chord and we had some gorgeous entries this time. Oh, my goodness! Choosing winners was like a photo finish in a horse race or finding the queen in a bee hive! Here they are:
Our Top Pick is: Deborah Wheeler
Deborah's mastery of masking and watercolour has created a wonderful scene for this dear little cat whose mind is on more than the beautiful scenery behind her. The peaceful palette brings the cat, the birds and the embossed sentiment into perfect focus! What a whimsical scene!
Our Featured Artist is: Stef Perry
Stef has made this party bear just come to life with her masterful copic colouring skills! He pops right off the page! And the colour choices are perfect for bringing the image into sharp focus. The little details like the linen thread from the balloons tucked under the bear's arm and the enamel dots as finishing touches create a fine Featured Artist award winner.
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:
8. Toni
14. Jules
15. Heather Heroldt
17. Judy Inukai
Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come and check out our new Recipe Challenge tomorrow morning on our blog! Our winners today can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.
What a sweet surprise to see my card for your featured artist choice, thanks so much! Congrats to Deborah as the Top Pick and all the other winners!
