Oh, the texture and neutral yumminess of our last challenge!! Thanks to all of you who entered! We loved the way you embraced all the elements in the recipe and integrated them so creatively! Who knew that five elements could be combined in so many different and lovely ways? Well, actually, we did and it was a challenge to choose between them, but we managed and without further discussion, here are the winners of Challenge #263:
Our Top Pick is: Tenia Nelson
The fascinating line image of the reindeer (look at that expression!) against the texture of the vertical element and the black & white gingham background with little touches of silver created a great lesson in design! We loved the one word sentiment!! All the challenge elements were met in some unexpected ways and, as always, impeccable craftsmanship!
Our Featured Artist is: Carol
The Design Team loves surprises, and as we were wondering where the one word sentiment was in Carol's entry, that adorable little reindeer pops up and voila: Joy!! Aside from that creative secret, there is so much texture and neutral richness in Carol's design, and that reindeer die creates such a crowd pleaser, am I right? What a cool way of combining the five challenge elements!
And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:
