We have a tie for Top Pick:

Our  first Top Pick is: Jolanda Johnstone


top pick 1

Jolanda has created a most whimsical and entertaining take on the sketch. The varied background papers all work so well together on top of the gorgeously embossed card front! The focal point image is humorous and look at that multicoloured sentiment! The Design Team felt that it all adds up to a worthy Top Pick! Congrats, Jolanda!

Our  second Top Pick is: Jaydee

top pick 2

Jaydee has used some compelling DSP for the rectangular elements of the sketch! She deserves a medal just for having the courage to cut into it!  The Design Team loved the way that it formed the main substance of her card! The neutral circle and the vellum square manage to take a back seat and the beautifully embossed sentiment creates a focal point, without detracting from the beautiful paper. Congrats on being a Top Pick, Jaydee!

Our winning entry, Amy Koenders, the Featured Artist, has created a beautiful birthday card featuring gorgeous contrasts. She has also used texture in her background. The kraft and pink, white and dark brown is a stunning palette! Note the die cut sentiment that forms the horizontal element of the sketch! It's so bold and eye catching, but doesn't detract from the delicate nature of the florals! Congratulations on being our Featured Artist, Amy !
