Winners for Challenge #329 - Forest Bathing

Thanks to all the guest "chefs" who tried out our Recipe Challenge last week! The beautiful greens in your projects were almost as soothing as Forest Bathing! It's amazing how 5 different ingredients can be combined in so many different ways. Your cards gave us some beautiful designs! Here are the winners:

Our Top Pick is: Jolanda Johnstone

Jolanda used some beautiful patterned paper in shades of green to satisfy that ingredient in our recipe, then stepped it up by embossing that paper with leaves. She added a vertical column and used a different embossing folder for that. The focal point is a medallion of white with lovely tree shapes stamped on in different shades of green and a birthday sentiment, satisfying each element of the recipe when you include the baker's twine around the vertical layer. With the contrast between the green rays and the white medallion, Jolanda has given us a striking composition worthy of Top Pick! 

And our Featured Artist this week:

Our Featured Artist is: Teresa S.

Teresa, our Featured Artist this week and winner, used the elements of the recipe in very creative ways! The Design Team loved her sparkly green palm trees and the embossing she used on the trunks! The many and varied places the shades of green showed up, including the palm fronds and the hammock, as well as the background paper, were interesting and eye-catching.  And look at the clever way Teresa incorporated the twine in her project, as the ties for her green hammock! Wow! Well earned Featured Artist award!  Congratulations, Teresa!
