We just loved all the entries that came with the Spots or Stripes Theme Challenge! They were all amazing! It was SOO hard to choose winners! To generalize, the spotty ones seemed to be playful and whimsical, while the striped ones tended to be more stately and sophisticated, but there were a few designs that blew that theory completely out of the water! However you slice it though, they were all beautiful!
Here are the winners of Challenge #336! We have two Top Picks:
Our first Top Pick is: Johanna from LHC
The Design Team loved the variety of stripes used on this lovely design of Johanna's this week. There were horizontal, vertical, diagonal, shiny, glittery and solid; this arrangement of stripes created a very sophisticated pattern for a masculine card or any card for that matter! The darker tones used just accentuated the designs. Congratulations,Johanna, on being one of our Top Picks this week.
Our second Top Pick is: Erin T.
What's interesting about Erin's design is that even though dots usually give off a playful or whimsical vibe, Erin has managed to use them in a way that is decidedly sophisticated. With the black background and yellow dots, that background makes the focal point more on the formal side. We loved that Erin used a vellum circle to create that focal point as well, and along with her colour choices, everything worked together to make a very lovely Top Pick! Congratulations, Erin!
Our Featured Artist is: Milla
Milla didn't just use stripes in her creation today, she made the stripes work to enhance her whole design! The clean, straight lines of the stripes emphasized the clean lines of her florals and the preciseness of her copic colouring skills! The colour matching with the foliage and the stripes enhances the design as well! The stripes are perfectly juxtaposed with the arch of the main panel. Congratulations, Milla, on being Featured Artist and winner this week!
