Winners for Challenge #331 - Fast Fruit

You are all getting so adept at Speed Stamping challenges! You are learning all the hacks and shortcuts and using your strengths to come up with designs that do not look at all like you only took 10 minutes or less to make! But, the question is, do you still get that rush of adrenaline when you start your timer?

Here are the lovely winners this time, chosen by the Design Team:

Our Top Pick is: Christy Stanford 

In a blast from the past, Christy has given us a nostalgic, retro look with a well-loved former suite featuring patterns and colours from a 1970s farm kitchen at harvest time! Her choices of colour and pattern mixed, and the lovely stamping job in the short completion time of just over 7 minutes, make this design a real Top Pick! Congratulations, Christy!

Our Featured Artist is: Jolanda Johnstone

Jolanda maintains that in a speed situation like this challenge, her fussy cutting is faster than die cutting for a simple image, and when you look at her entry this week, you'll see why! The Design Team loved the black, white and red palette, and especially the black and white gingham background for the apple! The colouring and cutting was well done and the whole design was simple enough for speed stamping, but striking enough for Featured Artist! Congratulations, Jolanda!
