Winners for Challenge #290 - Border Beauty

Our sketch challenges aim to give you a framework to enhance your creativity! There was a lot you could do with our last sketch, from florals to Valentine designs! We enjoyed all the variety and imagination.

Let me introduce you to our winners! Here they are:


We have a tie for top pick!

Our first Top Pick is: Yvon from Blue Heart Stamping

top pick 1


Yvon created a beautiful collage design with gobs of texture and metallic accents! The Design Team loved her choice of paper for the borders and her composition within the sketch guidelines. This is a great example of creativity while maintaining the integrity of a sketch. Lovely, Yvon!

Our second Top Pick isStef Perry

top pick 2


Stef created an elegant card by flipping the sketch on its side. She took the embossed cardstock in the background and added some white ink to highlight the raised areas which really enhanced the technique! Her butterfly and sentiment really steal the show with the silver die cuts on the white matte. We loved her treatment of the borders as well.

Our Featured Artist is: Tenia Nelson

featured artist


Tenia's whimsical design used a torn paper reveal for the border treatment and special details with sequins and staples to highlight it. Her hand painted cupcake definitely looks good enough to eat and she created a lot of vertical variety with her layers! What a great representation of the sketch! Congratulations, Tenia.
