Winners for Challenge #342 - For the Birds

What are the birds doing in your part of the world? Whether they are just appearing or leaving on their migrations, they are often the early sign of a new season! And the sign of a good theme challenge is lots of entries. We did have a good number of them, and some more new players, so welcome to you all. For new players, we want to alert you to our guideline that you only enter 3 concurrent challenges along with As You See It. That will allow you to read and understand our challenges before you make your project, and keep you eligible for our winners' categories!

Here are the winners of Challenge #336:

Our Top Pick is: Nance Salkeld

The Design Team loved the regal swan die cut and the stenciled floral design Nance included on the card front! The colours she used were so vibrant and appealing, and there were so many small details, either die cut or stenciled, that brought the scene to life! Then there was that swan-tastically punny sentiment! Congratulations, Nance, on being our Top Pick this week. 

Our Featured Artist is: Michele Ferguson

 

Michele's stenciled flower image was already beautiful, but she took it up a notch by using coloured pencils to hand draw some extra shading lines and, suddenly, the image was perfect! In addition, that bird image is so realistic looking, it could fly off the page, and when it is all added to a background of faded script....voila! Chef's kiss! Congratulations, Michele, on being Featured Artist this week!
