Who says you need hours to come up with a beautiful card design? Our entries this week all took less than 10 minutes to make and I bet it's hard to tell! Which is your favourite? The Design Team loved them all, but had to pick the winners, because, well, that's our job, so like, here they are:
We had two Top Picks this week, because the entries were that good:
Our first Top Pick is: Wild Rose & Pearl/Kim F.
Kim's amazing card, which took her 8 min 45 sec to make uses a very unique technique to create a dense, ferny undergrowth area. She used an embossing folder and ink to create the highlighted areas and dark green ink swiped on straight from the ink pad to black out the shadowed areas. The added fern fronds from diecuts and the rich gold sentiment and backings, really add to the beauty of this lovely card! Congratulations, Kim on being one of our Top Picks this week.
Our second Top Pick is: Jolanda Johnston
Whenever there is a speed stamping contest, you're pretty sure to find Jolanda somewhere on the winner's page. She has speed stamping down to a fine art. You will learn how to do it, too, when you read here various posts on the subject! The Design Team loved her background and her lovely colouring on the leaf! Congrats on being our second Top Pick, Jolanda!
Our Featured Artist is: Gayle Chrvala
Gayle, our winner, and Featured Artist, made her beautiful card in only 5 min. 7 sec.! She is demonstrating an important concept of speed stamping - simple can be beautiful, and good composition makes a big difference. The Design Team loved the variation in greens for your line of leaves, the way you matted the front panel, the amazing sentiment that underscored your main image! Congratulations, Gayle , on being our Featured Artist this week!
