Challenge #377 - Recipe for Happy Yellow Flowers

Cooked up anything tasty lately? Tried any good recipes? Well, today, we've got one for you thanks to our team member, Joanne: a Recipe for Happy Yellow Flowers, and at this point in July, I think we might be talking either sunflowers or cone flowers! Any others that you can think of? Asters or chrysanthemums? Anyway, a Recipe challenge requires you to use all 5 elements given to you in the recipe, but how you do it is up to you! We always get delightful surprises every time we have a recipe challenge! Have fun with it!

Remember our Colour Challenge a couple of weeks ago? Well our Featured Artist from that challenge was given the opportunity to be a guest designer for this challenge. I'd like you to meet Jaydee:

And here is the beautiful card she designed for this challenge! Enjoy!:

Let's see how the Design Team put those 5 elements to work!

Winners for Challenge #371 - Recipe for Framed Floral Success

The Design Team were overcome with the beauty of the designs of the entries in our Recipe for Framed Floral Success Challenge! It always amazes me how the same 5 elements can result in such a variety of entries, all of them uniquely beautiful. And that makes being the ones who have to pick the winners a very tough job! Nonetheless...

Here are the winners of Challenge #371!

Our Top Pick is: Loopyloo

What an elegant design we were treated to with the card Loopyloo entered in this recipe challenge! To start with, just look at the frame! It looks like something from Top Edwardian Designed Frames! The die cut florals are beautiful shades of pink with some foliage for contrast and the layers create incredible depth! Finally, that lovely understated sentiment banner adds the one word finish! Top Pick material! Congratulations, Loopyloo!!

Our Featured Artist is: Vicki Burdick

Vicki has made a card that also uses techniques to create a lot of depth in her design. She has the tulips growing up and out of the frame, which is a great way of indicating height, as well as being able to spot the background papers through the foreground! The Design Team loved the choice of striped DSP in pastels and the skillful colouring of the tulips. Congratulations, Vicki, on being this week's Featured Artist!

                     

And we think you may want to check out the following Honourable Mentions on their sites:

#10. Chisty Stanford

#  9. Nora

#  4. Erin T.

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to everyone who played along! Come and check out our new Theme Stamping Challenge tomorrow morning on our blog! Our winners today can pick up their badges on this page and display them with pride on their blogs or sites.

Challenge #371 - Recipe for Framed Floral Success

In my little corner of the globe, spring has come with a vengeance! Or maybe that's the wrong way to put it, because the weather is so beautiful - like summer, really! In fact, we've been camping this week! And all the beautiful spring blossoms are showing their best faces right now! Our Team Mate, Deborah, couldn't have timed the elements of our Recipe Challenge any better if she had tried, with the framed florals in pink!

For a Recipe Challenge, you can design it any way you like, as long as you've included the 5 elements you see on the Challenge banner! How you do that is up to you.

If you can think back to our last colour challenge, we said that the winner of that challenge, the Featured Artist, would be the Guest Designer for this challenge. And the winner was Sonja :

And here's her beautiful card for this Recipe for Framed Floral Success challenge:

Now, let's check in with the Design Team and see how they've interpreted the Recipe:

Winners for Challenge #365 - Rhapsody in Red

The fun part of our job as a Design Team is checking out the blogs of every entry in our challenges and it's especially fun when it's a recipe challenge! Everyone gets exactly the same five elements, but the variety of entries we get is endless AND beautiful! The not-so-fun part of our job is trying to choose winners from amongst those lovely entries, but once again, we bit the bullet and got the job done! Here they are:

Our Top Pick is: Christy Stanford

Christy took the five elements, and envisioned an Asian design for the Year of the Horse! The rich reds and golds and her great horse stamp all evoke that wonderful imagery! The inside of a Gold Glimmer wreath, that looked like a sunburst to Christy, is the perfect bit of enhancement and draws the eye to the focal point. The torn layers add interest! Congratulations on being our Top Pick, Christy! 

And our Featured Artist this week:

Our Featured Artist is: Teresa S.

Teresa, our Featured Artist this week and winner, used the elements of the recipe with creative style. The Design Team particularly loved the arrangement of the die cut flowers and foliage with a wrapping of vellum and a congratulatory tag. The texture and detail on the flowers and foliage is beautiful. It was all displayed within an attractive frame.  A well-earned Featured Artist award!  Congratulations, Teresa!

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:  

     

      4.  Sonja Zierer

Challenge #365 - Rhapsody in Red

I'll admit I had Valentines in mind when I created this recipe challenge! I either like my Valentines super simple or over the top and this is an over the top recipe, although it would probably work for super simple, too! But don't hold back. Rhapsody in Red is ready for you to give it all you've got!

For a Recipe Challenge, you can design it any way you like, as long as you've included the 5 elements you see on the Challenge banner! How you do that is up to you.

If you can think back to our last challenge before Christmas, a colour challenge, we said that the winner of that challenge, the Featured Artist, would be the Guest Designer for this challenge. And the winner was Jaydee:
