There is Still Time to Play As You See It Challenge #172 - Serenity!

You still have time to play with our Colour challenge #172 at As You See It Challenges! Why don't you give it a try, here?

The Challenge will close on Wednesday, Apr. 4th, at 11:55 pm Pacific time.

Challenge #172 - Serenity

Aren't these three colours just the most peaceful to look at? I think they are perfect for a bedroom! And a bedroom is the perfect place for Serenity! If you don't have these exact Stampin' Up colours, you just need to use the colours you have that are closest to them, plus another neutral if you like. Have fun with it!

Let's find out how the Design Team used the palette we were given:

 

Amy Jasper

Heather Cooper

Jan Clothier

Jane Knudsen

LeAnne Pugliese

Tara Angus

Teresa Kline

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 #AYSI172 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines tab.

Winners for Challenge #171 - Pieces of the Sky

I've got to say that the creativity we saw with this last collection challenge was even more impressive than usual! And you'd think with that many design elements dictated that all the cards would look alike, but you'd be wrong! There was amazing variety. Well done, everyone! Here are our winners:

Our Top Pick is: Dawn McKay

Dawn cleverly disguised her rainbow and the letter i in the word WISH, with a birthday cake! And apparently, her cake stamp had to do a number of gymnastic moves to stamp each section a different colour. The colours are so vibrant in this beauty of a card, it makes you feel that wishes really could come true! I hope Dawn wished to be our Top Pick, because that is what her design earned her! 

And our Featured Artist is: dj

                                                                                 

dj's amazing creativity shines through here, and the Design Team were captivated by her sparkly wide rainbow made from shooting stars, which look just like fireworks being set off, thanks to the confetti splatters just above the one word, enjoy! A colourful, well-designed CAS card that grabs your attention right away! 

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back and check out our new, beautiful colour challenge tomorrow! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

Challenge #171 - Pieces of the Sky

Are you ready for another collection challenge? This kind of challenge presents several elements for you to use, and you must somehow incorporate all of them in your design, but within those parameters the possibilities for creative solutions are endless! Notice how many of these could be a piece of the wide open skies? We're hoping that the sky is the limit as you think outside the box and come up with innovative designs for this one. Are you up for it??

Let's see how the Design Team managed the collection:

Winners for Challenge #170 - Bits and Pieces

After a pretty slow warm up, you all got your bits and pieces together and we got some very fine projects loaded on our challenge site! There were some great interpretations of the sketch, and as always, a difficult determination to find the winners. But here are our choices:

Our Top Pick is: dj

dj has an eclectic mix of monochromatic green elements in her very effective CAS design. We were delighted and nostalgic to see so many old favourites among the stamp sets and punches dj used!

And our Featured Artist is: Dawn McKay

                                         

Dawn's beautiful card was layer after layer of loveliness! She had everything including colour, texture and gorgeous design elements in her effective entry! The design team loved the whole mix and especially the vertical elements, combining Gorgeous Grunge with Timeless Textures! 

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! I hope you'll come back and check out our new collection challenge tomorrow! Our winners can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.
